An
undergraduate choosing to major in Zoology has a broad choice of
courses and unusually broad opportunities to gain experience in
field and laboratory work. She/he also has the possiblity of participating
in the active research programs of the faculty which are under way
both on campus and at various special facilities elsewhere. The
baccalaureate curricula are designed to prepare students either
for graduate work in the biological sciences, admission to professional
schools, or advanced specialized training.
If
you have decided to major in Zoology, you should make an appointment
with a departmental advisor to
discuss your plans, interests, and a possible sequence of courses.
Prepare ahead of that visit a prospective sequence of courses which
interest you and pick up a declaration of major form from the Zoology
