Zoology is the study of animals, from the simplest sponges to the most advanced arthropods, mollusks, and vertebrates. The zoology major is housed in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology, which offers courses in the major animal groups (e.g., invertebrates, fish, birds, and mammals), as well as courses in evolution, ecology, aquatic biology, conservation, behavior and physiology.
Completion of the zoology major will provide the proper underlying preparation for post-graduate education (e.g., veterinary medicine, medicine, dentistry, optometry, or graduate school), as well as for entry-level jobs across a range of animal-related occupations.
