The Collection Management Librarian for Life Sciences, and the Heads of the Veterinary Medical and the Natural Resources Libraries are responsible for the selection and evaluation of information resources in zoology, in collaboration with public service librarians, faculty, and students.
Undergraduates study all levels of biological organization from the molecular to the community.
Zoology majors are well prepared for graduate work in zoology and related fields of science. Students complete a core of courses which provide knowledge in the areas of cellular and molecular biology, embryonic development, animal diversity, and evolution and the relationship of animals to their environment. Preparation is also available for opportunities in government, industry positions, and for graduate study. A minor in Zoology is also available to undergraduates from other departments. The Department offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science, Master of Life Science, Master of Wildlife Biology or Ph.D. Degrees.
