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. 283 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 on pages 249-251. 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. (Consult with Julie Baker at 801- 626-6165 for information about the advisor of this program.) Biology Composite Teaching Major BACHELOR DEGREE (B.S. OR B.A.) Advisor: Dr. Sharon Ohlhorst, Director, Center for Science Education 801-626-6160. »Program Prerequisite: Must meet the Teacher Education admission and certification requirements (see Teacher Education Department in this catalog). "Minor: Not required. » Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better in courses required for this major (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable). An overall GPA of 3.00 is required for admission to the Teacher Education Program. * Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 126 credit hours is required for graduation — 73 of these are required in the major and 32 hours for Teacher Education Certification. A total of 58 upper division hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above) — 26 of these are biology courses and 32 are Teacher Education courses. Advisement Teaching majors are encouraged to consult with advisors in both the College of Science (call 801-626-6160) and the College of Education (call 801-626-6269). Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (refer to page 18 of this catalog). Biology Composite Teaching majors must satisfy Teacher Education admission and certification requirements (see Teacher Education Department in this catalog). General Education Refer to pages 35-39 of this catalog for either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. The following courses required for the Biology Composite Teaching major also will satisfy general education requirements: Micro LS2054, Botany LS1105, Geosci PSlllO, Chem PSlllO or Chem PS1210, Phsx PS1010, Comm HU1020, and Math QL1050 (15 credit hours).
