Pre-medical professional students should take CHEM 1210/1220 and CHEM 2310/2320. MATH QL1050 or MATH QL1080 or MATH QL1210 College Algebra (4) Pre-Calculus (5) Calculus (4) Students planning to attend graduate or professional schools are encouraged to take a class in the Calculus series (MATH SI1210/SI1220). Pre-medical professional students are required to take one year of mathematics. PHYS PS/SI1010 Elementary Physics (3) or PHYS PS/SI2010/SI2020 General Physics (10) or PHYS PS/SI2210/SI2220 Calculus Physics (10) Pre-medical professional students should take PHYS PS/SI2010/SI2020 with labs. Choose any two (2) Botany or Microbiology courses from the list below. Approval must be obtained from the Botany Department Chair before taking Botany courses numbered 3000 and above. Ecology-oriented students should take at least one Botany class, and Pre-medical professional students should take at least one Microbiology class.

Additional credit hours in Zoology or other electives are needed to bring your total to 120 semester credits and 40 upper division credits. 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 Pre-medical and related sections. Consult with the appropriate advisor. SPECIAL EMPHASES Pre-medical Professional Training Students considering application to medical, dental, veterinary, physical therapy, optometry, and pharmacy schools should consult the beginning of the College of Sdence section of this catalog. Furthermore, they should meet with the advisors of these programs, each of whom is listed in that sedion. 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 spedfic 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 and Management (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 BTNY 3624 Taxonomy of Vascular Plants (4) BTNY 3473 Plant Geography (3) 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 (MS or PhD degrees), should minor in Botany.
