MAJOR » Program Prerequisite: Not required. » Minor: Required. » Grade Requirements: Zoology majors must have an average GPA of 2.00 or higher. Students are required to earn a grade of "C-" in each prerequisite course before taking the next course. » Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation — 41 of these are required within Zoology. A total of 40 upper division hours is required (courses number 3000 and above) — 32 of these are required within the major. Some zoologists focus their studies on a specific group of animals; others specialize on problems or processes, such as those in physiology or genetics, which are Zoologists have made many important contributions to our understanding of the natural world.
