BYU Department of Zoology Richard R. Tolman , Chair The Brigham Young University Department of Zoology is dedicated to the study of animal life at all levels.
Students majoring in zoology take a balanced core of courses.
This provides a broad background in zoology, introduces scientific reasoning, develops skills in hypothesis formulation and testing, and develops the ability to make educated decisions, especially on biological issues. The research interests and training of the Department faculty are widely varied. For adminstrative ease, faculty members belong to one of two main divisions, Cellular Biology and Ecology and Systematics . The Department derives great strength from research collaboration between these two divisions. For general information about department policies and procedures, click here .
