Furthermore, they should meet with the advisors of these programs, each of whom is listed in that section. The Department of Zoology offers lower and upper level courses that provide superb training for examinations such as the Medical College Admissions Test, as well as medical school courses. Students should meet with the appropriate advisor for specific course suggestions. Ecological/Environmental Training Students interested in ecologically or environmentally oriented careers should follow the Zoology major and select courses to fill their elective requirements from the following: Zoology Course • ZOOL 3500 - • ZOOL 4300 - • ZOOL 4470 - Credits: (4) • ZOOL 4480 - • ZOOL 4640 - • ZOOL 4650 - • ZOOL 4660 - • ZOOL 4670 - • ZOOL 4680 - Electives Conservation Biology Credits: (3) Molecular Genetics Credits: (4) Wildlife Ecology and Management Aquatic Ecology Credits: (4) Entomology Credits: (4) Ichthyology Credits: (4) Herpetology Credits: (4) Ornithology Credits: (4) Mammalogy Credits: (4) Support Course Electives in Botany • BTNY 3624 - Taxonomy of Vascular Plants Credits: (4) • BTNY 3473 - Plant Geography Credits: (3) Note: Students desiring employment as a conservation officer should minor in Criminal Justice with a Law Enforcement concentration (see Department of Criminal Justice section of the catalog). Students desiring a career as a wildlife biologist or wildlife manager, or intending to pursue advanced studies in ecology or conservation biology following graduation (MS or PhD degrees), should minor in Botany.
