PAGE OUTLINE
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
To obtain a major in Zoology, students must
complete 30 hours of major coursework (exclusive of Zoology 1114
and 1121),
with at least 15 of these hours at the upper-division level. A
grade of C or better must be earned in each course.
The following courses may not be counted as major work in Zoology:
Zoology 1005, 1114, 1121, 1203, 2124, 2255, 2343 and 3823.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
The standard Bachelor of Science degree is intended for students
who want the flexibility afforded by a minimum set of requirements.
Majors in Zoology must take the following courses in zoology:
1114, 1121, 2094 or 2204, 3013, and 3333. At least one course must
be taken from each of the following groups:
- Populations—ZOO 3083, ZOO 3403
- Organismal—ZOO 3103, ZOO 3203
- Cellular—ZOO 3113, ZOO 4843
In addition, at least one 4000- or 5000-level course not in the
core must be completed. Two upper-division courses with laboratories
must be included in the major work. At least one field course and
participation in the summer program of the Biological Station,
Lake Texoma, are strongly recommended.
Geology 3513 may be counted as major work in zoology.
The following courses in related sciences are also required for
all zoology majors:
- Chemistry 1315 and 1415
- Chemistry 3012 and
3013 or Chemistry 3053, 3153, and 3152
- History of Science
3013 or 3023
- Mathematics 1743 or 1823
- Physics 2414 and
2424 (or Physics 2514
and 2524)
- Botany 1114 or Microbiology 2815 or Microbiology 3813
- Psychology 2003 or
Psychology 2113 or Zoology 2913 or Zoology 4913.
- A computer science course is strongly recommended.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ZOOLOGY-BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES
The Zoology degree track leading to the B.S. in Zoology/Biomedical
Sciences is intended for students who plan to enter postgraduate
programs in medicine, dentistry, or one of the specialties (e.g.
optometry, podiatry), veterinary medicine, the Physician Associate
program, public health, medical research, or one of the biomedical
industry support areas like laboratory assistant or pharmaceutical
sales.
Major in Biomedical Sciences must take the following courses in
zoology: 1114, 1121, 2011, 2012, and 3333. At least one course
must be taken from each of the following groups:
- Anatomy—ZOO 2094, ZOO 2204
- Populations—ZOO 3013, ZOO 3083, ZOO 3403
- Organismal—ZOO 3103, ZOO 3203
- Cellular—ZOO 3113, ZOO 4843
In addition, at least one 4000- or 5000-level course not in
the core must be completed. Two upper-division courses
with laboratories
must be included in the major work.
The following courses in related sciences are also required:
- Chemistry
1315, 1415, 3053, 3152, 3153, and 3653
- Mathematics 1743
or 1823
- Physics 2414 + 1311 and 2424 + 1321 (or Physics 2514 + 1311
and 2524 + 1321)
- Botany
1114 or Microbiology
2815 or Microbiology 3813
- One approved course in the history
of ethics of science or medicine (e.g., HSCI 3013
or 3023 or appropriate
HON 3993).
- A computer science course and a statistics course are strongly
recommended.
See detailed information here.
ZOOLOGY MINOR
A minor requires a minimum grade of C in 20 hours of courses,
including Zoology 1114, 1121, nine upper-division hours, and at
least two laboratory courses beyond 1121.
Minors may substitute Human Anatomy (2255) for Comparative Anatomy
(2204) or Human Physiology (2124) for Principles of Physiology
(3103). ZOO 2124, however, will not count toward upper-division
credit.
