170 Zoology Department of Zoology Chairman: J. Neil Jensen Location: Science Lab, Room 402 Telephone: 626-6587 Professors: Darrell J. Graff, David S. Havertz, Emron A. Jensen, J. Neil Jensen, Carl D. Marti, Earl W. Smart; Associate Professor: Gloria Z. Wurst; Assistant Professors: Earl A. Jenne, Bert W. Winter-ton, Samuel I. Zeveloff. Objectives (1) To provide training for a major and minor, also a teaching major and minor in Zoology; (2) To provide pre-professional training for medicine, dentistry, veterinary, optometry, pharmacy and other biologically oriented fields such as conservation, optometry, podiatry (chiropody), osteopathy, wildlife management, etc.; (3) To provide supporting General Education classes for other than the Zoology majors; (4) To serve as a supporting area for Physical Education and Allied Health Occupations majors; (5) To provide other specific sub-baccalaureate programs as needed. Education The study of zoology is basic preparation for any of the medically related fields, as well as environmental understanding. Students following prescribed pre-professional programs may have departmental requirements for graduation waived if they are inconsistent with professional curricula. Upon submission of equivalent course credit from professional schools and approval by the Department Chairperson and Dean of the School, students may be recommended for graduation as Zoology majors. Advisers will assist the student in the determination of a curriculum which will be best for a particular field of major concentration. Career and Professional Opportunities Students who attain competence in the field of zoology may find employment in such areas as: technical research laboratories, field technicians for environmental research, wildlife management, conservation officer, public health pest control, fisheries, biology teaching and research.
