Zool 3200, 3300, 3450, 3720, and the physiology requirement do not have to be taken in the order listed above, but ideally should be completed in the sophomore and junior years. Preprofessional students or students considering graduate school may need to add further or different courses in Chemistry, Physics, and Math. See earlier material and that in the Premedicine and related sections. Consult with the appropriate advisor. Special Emphases PREMEDICAL PROFESSIONAL TRAINING Students considering application to medical, dental, veterinary, physical therapy, optometry, and pharmacy schools should consult the beginning of the College of Science section of this catalog. 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 Electives Zool 3500 Conservation Biology (3) Zool 4300 Molecular Genetics (4) Zool 4470 Wildlife Ecology (4) Zool 4480 Aquatic Ecology (4) Zool 4640 Entomology (4) Zool 4650 Ichthyology (4) Zool 4660 Herpetology (4) Zool 4670 Ornithology (4) Zool 4680 Mammalogy (4) Support Course Electives in Botany Botany 3624 Taxonomy of Vascular Plants (4) Botany 3644 Intermountain Flora (4) Students desiring employment as a conservation officer should minor in Criminal Justice with a Law Enforcement concentration (see 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 (M.S. or Ph.D. degrees), should minor in Botany.
