Show Arts, Letters and Science ZOOLOGY It is recommended a student majoring in Zoology select courses in an area of principal interest: invertebrates, vertebrates, physiology, ecology, animal biology, etc. Advisors will assist the student in the determination of a curriculum which will be best for a particular field of major concentration. Zoology Departmental Major—Students should take the following courses in addition to the college specific and area requirements: Zoology 4 or 1; 7 or 105; 190; a course in Ecology; an upper division course in Genetics; an upper division course in Physiology; and an additional 20 hours of approved Zoology classes; Botany 1; and 2 or 60; Mathematics 14 or 18 or 21; Physics 5 or 51 through 56; Chemistry 11, 12, 13, or 24, 25, 26, 131, 132, 133; (the more advanced Zoology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics courses are recommended if graduate work is intended). Zoology majors are encouraged to take Zoology 4 in preference to Zoology 1. Credit will not be given for both Zoology 1 and 4. Zoology Departmental Minor—A minor in Zoology may be completed by taking a minimum of 25 hours of approved courses in this subject, including: Zoology 4 or 1 and 7 or 105. Zoology Teaching Major—Zoology teaching majors should complete the college specific course and area requirements in addition to those required for Utah State Department of Education teacher certification and the following courses: Zoology 4 or 1; 7 or 105; 164; 165 or 166; 167 or 168; 145; 181; and an additional ten hours of Zoology classes; Botany 1; 2 or 60; Chemistry 11, 12, 13, or 24, 25, 26; Geology 21; Physics 5; and Mathematics 14. Zoology 130, 20 or 120 or 123, and Microbiology 1 are also recommended. Zoology Teaching Minor—The Zoology teaching minor should include the following courses: Zoology 4 or 1; 7 or 105; 164; 145; and 181. Biology Composite Teaching Major—See Biology Composite Teaching Major, School of Education, pages 250-251. Pre-Medicine—Students intending to go into medicine should take the basic area requirements and the following courses: Chemistry 24, 25, 26, Mathematics 14, 18, 21 in their freshman year; Quantitative Analysis and Zoology 4, 105, 110 while they are sophomores. In their junior year they should take Chemistry 131, 132, 133; Physics 51 through 56; Zoology 145 and 130. Elective courses should be selected from among the humanities and social sciences in order to give a broad cultural background for the study of medicine. Family Life 33 is strongly recommended. 194 Arts, Letters and Science Pre-Dentistry—Students intending to go into dentistry should take the college basic and area requirements and the following courses: 15 hours from Zoology 4, 7, 105, 110, 130; Chemistry 24, 25, 26, 131, 132, 133; Mathematics 14, 18, 21; Physics 51 through 56. Electives should be completed to provide extensive general educational background for the study of dentistry. Pre-Veterinary Medicine—Students who plan to enter a school of Veterinary Medicine should complete college basic and area requirements and the following courses: Zoology 4; Botany 1 or 2; Chemistry 24, 25, 26, 131, 132, 133; Mathematics 14, 18; Physics 51 through 56. It is recommended that the other courses to complete two years of college work be selected from among language-arts, biological sciences, business and social sciences. Pre-Pharmacy—Students planning a pharmacy career should consult the catalog of the school of pharmacy they plan to enter. Many such schools are fairly liberal in their entrance requirements, namely that students meet college or university entrance requirements after having graduated from an accredited high school. The following freshman year courses will aid the student in complying with the first year of these curricula; college basic and area requirements; Botany 1 or 2; Economics 1; Chemistry 24, 25, 26; Mathematics 14, 18. Other Biologically Oriented Careers—A number of professions and careers which are essentially biologically oriented may be commenced by taking one or more years of study at Weber State College, namely, 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. Courses of Instruction 1. General Zoology—Application of biological principles to the most important animal groups. This course is for general students and they should not also register for Zoology 4. Four lectures and one laboratory. A W S Su (5) Staff 4. Invertebrate Zoology—Biology of non-vertebrate animals. For pre-dental and pre-medical students and those majoring in sciences. Three lectures and two laboratory periods each week. A W S (5). Havertz 7. Vertebrate Zoology—Natural history, structure, function and evolutionary relationships are emphasized. Four lectures and one laboratory. A W S (5) Richins, Jenne, Smart 195 |
