This highly flexible sequence is designed for students seeking careers that involve working with animals of any kind. This sequence will also prepare students for graduate studies in Zoology and related fields (e.g., entomology, physiology, wildlife biology, animal ecology). With additional coursework, students can meet the requirements to apply to veterinary and health professional schools.

The primary goal of the Zoology sequence is to provide students with a solid educational background to pursue careers or continuing education in zoology and related fields. The sequence is specifically designed to provide a focused experience for students interested in Zoology, while providing a breadth of course options within the broad discipline of biology, to meet the specific goals of each student within Zoology.

Students completing the Zoology sequence can choose plans that emphasize animal form and function (e.g., anatomy, physiology) or whole-organism biology (e.g., ecology, evolution). In general, training in the biological sciences, including zoology, provides solid preparation to pursue advanced degrees in healthcare, such as medicine, dentistry, and veterinary science, as well as M.S. or Ph.D. degrees in zoology and related fields.
