Arts, Letters and Science — Zoology Arts, Letters and Science — Zoology DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY Emron A. Jensen, Chairman Professors, Darrell J. Graff, David S. Havertz, Emron A. Jensen, Earl W. Smart; Associate Professor, 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 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 Major—Students 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; an upper division course in Genetics; an upper division course in Physiology; 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." Students planning to receive a bachelor of science degree in a combined curriculum (three years at Weber State College and one year at a medical or dental school) must complete a minimum of 140 credit hours including the specific and area requirements as well as the basic courses of the major. 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 211 or 160, and 212 or 405. Zoology Teaching Major—Zoology teaching majors should complete the college specific courses and area requirements in addition to those required for Utah State Department of Education teacher certification and the following courses: Zoology 211 or 160; 212 or 405; 464; 465 or 466; 467 or 468; 445; 381; and an additional ten hours of Zoology classes; Botany 110, 364 or 160; Chemistry 111, 112, 113, or 121, 122, 123; Geology 111; Physics 101: and Mathematics 105. Zoology 330, 201 or 420 or 423 and Microbiology 111 are also recommended. Zoology Teaching Minor — The Zoology teaching minor should include the following courses: Zoology 211 or 160; 212 or 405; 445; 464 and 381. A minimum of 28 hours required. Credit will not be given for both Zoology 160 and 211 for major or minor requirements. Biology Composite Teaching Major—See Biology Composite Teaching Major, School of Education. Pre-Medicine — Students intending to go into medicine should take the basic area requirements and the following courses: Chemistry 121, 122, 123, Mathematics 105, 106, 107 in their freshman year; Zoology 211, 405, 410 while they are sophomores. In their junior year they should take Chemistry 311, 312, 313; Physics 111 through 116: Zoology 445 and 330. 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 140 is strongly recommended. Pre-Dentistry — Students intending to go into dentistry should take the college basic and area requirements and the following courses: 15 hours from Zoology 211, 212, 330, 405, 410, 222 223
