Show Natural Sciences Zoology DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY Earl W. Smart, Chairman Professors, Darrell J. Graff, David S. Havertz, Emron A. Jensen, J. Neil Jensen, Carl D. Marti, Earl W. Smart; Assistant Professors, Earl A. Jenne, Bert W. Winterton, Gloria Z. Wurst; Adjunct Assistant Professor, G. Craig Gundy. Objectives: (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, optometry, podiatry (chiropody), osteopathy, wildlife management, etc. (Students should consult the catalog of the school to which they plan to transfer and seek advice of departmental counselors who are available to assist the student in planning his program and in making his transfer to another school.) (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. Education: The study of zoology is basic preparation for any of the medically related fields, as well as environmental understanding. 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. Career and Professional Opportunities: Students who attain competence in the field of zoology may find employment in such areas as: Technical research laboratories, field technicians for environmental research, wildlife management, conservation officer, health, pest control, fisheries, biology teaching and research.
