Jensen, Chairman Professors, Darrell J. Graff, David S. Havertz. Emron A. Jensen, Earl W. Smart; Associate Professors, J. Neil Jensen, Carl D. Marti; Assistant Professors, Earl A. Jenne, Roger Richins, Bert W. Winterton. The objectives of the Zoology Department are: (1) to provide training for a major and minor, also a teaching major and minor in Zoology; (2) to provide pre-professional training for medicine, dentistry, veterinary, optometry, pharmacy and other biologically oriented fields such as conservation; (3) to provide supporting general education classes for other than the zoology majors; (4) to serve as a supporting area for Physical Education and Allied Health Occupations majors; (5) to provide other specific sub-baccalaureate programs as needed. The study of zoology is basic preparation for any of the medically related fields as well as environmental understanding. The zoology major is used for preparation for graduate study or field work or other conservation biology areas. Students following prescribed pre-professional programs may have departmental requirements for graduation waived which are inconsistent with professional curricula. Upon submission of equivalent courses and approval by the Department Chairman and Dean of the School, students may be recommended for graduation as zoology majors. It is recommended a student majoring in zoology select courses in one of the following areas of interest: invertebrates, vertebrates, physiology, ecology, or animal biology. Advisers will assist the student in the determination of a curriculum which will be best for a particular field of major concentration. Zoology Departmental MajorStudents should take the following courses in addition to the college specific and area requirements: Zoology 211; 212 or 405; 499 (2 hrs.); 480 or 483 (1 hr.); one of the following listed ecology courses: Zoology 440, 445, 447, or 448; Genetics 330; Physiology 420 or 421, 422 or 423; and an additional 20 hours of approved Zoology classes; Botany 110 and one of the following courses: 112, 361, 362, 364 or 425 (362 preferred for ecology oriented majors); Mathematics 105 or 106 or 107; Physics 101 or 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116; Chemistry 111, 112, 113 or 121, 122, 123, 311, 312, 313; (the more advanced Zoology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics courses are recommended if graduate work is intended). No credit will be given toward the major for a class grade lower than "C." Required for Physics only; recommended for Applied Physics Required for Applied Physics only; recommended for Physics 159 |
