Bachelor of Science in Zoology

Pursue a Career Working with Animals with Our Bachelor’s Degree in Zoology

Zoology is one of the broadest sciences, dealing with the study of animals, both living and extinct. If you are interested in working with animals for a living, our zoology bachelor’s degree provides the credentials you need to open doors in conservation, ecology and research, husbandry, zoo curation, or wildlife biology. This degree is also ideal if you are interested in furthering your education to enter veterinary medicine or professional careers that emphasize animal husbandry or research.

As a zoology major, it is crucial that you get all the hands-on training you can during your time on campus. In addition to the state-of-the-art facilities and laboratories you will use, you also have the option of participating in an internship to give you additional experience prior to graduation. We highly recommend pursuing an internship opportunity.
