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 Zool 3500 Zool 4300 Zool 4470 Zool 4480 Zool 4640 Zool 4650 Zool 4660 Zool 4670 Zool 4680 Electives Conservation Biology (3) Molecular Genetics (4) Wildlife Ecology (4) Aquatic Ecology (4) Entomology (4) Ichthyology (4) Herpetology (4) Ornithology (4) Mammalogy (4) Support Course Electives in Botany Botany 3624 Taxonomy of Vascular Plants (4) Botany 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 Ph.D. degrees), should minor in Botany.
