The zoology curriculum provides you with a basic understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics courses crucial to your education in animal biology, and you may get research opportunities. Concentrations are Genetics, Microbiology, Wildlife Biology and Conservation and Zoology. Zoology students are prepared to either enter a job in the zoology field immediately after graduation or apply for graduate programs. Our program prepares you with the educational background to be competitive for a graduate program or to begin careers in zoology. We also strongly recommend that you gain practical experience in the field through undergraduate research experiences and internships prior to completion of your degree. Careers Careers in zoology span a tremendous range of biological sub disciplines, from systematics and taxonomy to physiology and biochemistry to ecology and behavior all connected by the subject of study: animals. The questions you will explore and the services you will learn to render are limited only by your imagination, given the incredible diversity of past and present animal life from microscopic invertebrates to 100-ton whales. With a zoology degree, you could work in teaching institutions, industry (food, health, pharmaceutical, agriculture, and biotech), government agencies (environmental protection, food and drug, fish and wildlife, land management agencies, park services, water quality, and agriculture), as well as zoos and nongovernmental conservation organizations. Many zoologists choose to earn a graduate degree before pursuing a career conducting basic or applied research involving animals, teaching at the high school or college level, or serving as educators in informal settings such as museums, zoos, and aquariums.
