在这里学什么？

Zoology faculty organize and present their teaching and research efforts in a variety of ways: by level of biological organization (from cell to individual to population), type of interaction (competition, predation, parasitism), and kind, or classification, of animal (insects, birds, fishes). All students interested in any area of the biological sciences, including Zoology, enter UCSB as pre-biological sciences majors. Pre-biology majors share a common core curriculum, typically completed during the freshman and sophomore years, consisting of introductory biology with laboratory, general chemistry with laboratory, mathematics (calculus and statistics), physics with laboratory, and for many of the majors, an additional 2-3 terms of organic chemistry with laboratory. The zoology major does not require organic chemistry for the major.

After completion of key preparatory coursework, students may petition to declare the full major. The Zoology major requires completion of 48 upper-division quarter units in biological sciences including: courses in genetics, physiology, diversity and systematics; one course in either developmental biology, evolution or ecology; plus electives from the disciplines of botany, anthropology, geography and geology. In practice, most students enroll in both laboratory and field courses. In addition to these major requirements, students choose electives in consultation with faculty advisors.

Careers in Zoology

The Zoology major prepares students for graduate studies in biology at any major university. It is excellent preparation for professional study in medicine, dentistry, and veterinary science. The university offers an outstanding health science advisory system located in Cheadle Hall. The system advises and supports students interested in the biomedical sciences from the beginning of their undergraduate careers to their entrance into graduate and professional schools.

Students desiring immediate career entry often seek employment with local, state, or federally-funded government agencies or with the private sector. Such students obtain positions in wildlife management and environmental assessment, and with zoos and environmental impact firms.

Students interested in teaching biological sciences or conducting research at a university should plan to complete the PhD degree. Students interested in teaching at a community college should pursue graduate work at least through the master's degree. Teaching at the junior high or high school (secondary) level requires the California single subject teaching credential. Students considering this last option should discuss their plans with the credential advisor in UCSB's Graduate School of Education early in their academic careers.
