在这里学什么？

Zoology, or the branch of biology that studies the animal kingdom, is a broad and exciting field, and our concentration offers you the flexibility to tailor your degree to match your interests.

While the topic of zoology might first evoke images of zookeepers and veterinarians, our world also needs research-focused scientists who can use their knowledge of animals to explain and sustain our environment. For example, what can bird migration patterns tell us about global climate change? And why are North American bats—which help us by eating large numbers of disease-carrying mosquitos—suddenly developing the fatal “white nose syndrome”? Both of these questions are part of our zoology faculty’s current research.

We offer a number of courses in various subjects—ornithology, mammalogy, ichthyology, entomology, animal parasitology, and more—that forms a comprehensive curriculum to provide you with a strong foundation in animal biology.

The zoology concentration is one of the most popular programs in our department, and our graduates are prepared to enter a job in the zoology field right away or to apply for graduate programs in their preferred subfield in animal biology.

Program Requirements

The concentration in zoology fulfills part of the requirements that lead to a bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree with a major in biology. All biology majors must also complete the biology core curriculum and the University Core Curriculum.
