Program Details

Zoology School: University of Calgary Faculty: Science Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Zoology/Animal Biology Description: Zoology is the study of animals and as such, students of zoology are deeply curious about the animals with which we share our planet. Zoology Majors are flexible, agile learners interested in pursuing a liberal education in science as a springboard to multiple career opportunities. With its emphasis on organismal biology, but also covering many molecular, cellular and ecological aspects of animal biology, the Zoology major provides students a thorough understanding of contemporary animal biology. As a Zoology student, you will study animals in their natural environment, or the laboratory setting preparing you to pursue careers in fields like biomedical engineering, biotechnology, human or veterinary medicine, or dentistry. Many people working at zoos, in aquaculture, or as fish and wildlife biologists also have degrees in zoology. The Faculty of Science offers programs of study leading to either the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) or the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree.
