What courses would I need to take to become a zoologist?

biology is the most important subject, other than that, any science or sociology course would be well suited.

zoology started as a career back in the day, as far back as roman times as people have always wanted to find out ways to exploit the natural world and its inhabitants.\n\nIn victioran times zoology as a creer was basically going out to far flung places (or lacally in the case of amature zoologits) and killing beasts in order to stuff them to bring home for study. although some did make detaild notes on behaviour and habitat it was mostly a trophy hunting game so ironocally in many cases the study of animals caused a good few species to go extinct, including the Adonis Bule butterfly from the UK.\n\nIf you mean how do I make zoology my career, go to college and study it, if you live in the UK then i recommend A'level biology, chemistry and possibly maths (there are loads of statistics involved) english is a good one as is an art based subject or geography as you will need to be able to map out ares for study in order to get an accurate reading of thier diversity.\n\nThen go to Uni and study zoology, although speaking from expereince you might like to try environmental scinece(this means that you get to do all the interesting zoology modules but are more likeley to get a job.\n\nI would also urge you to go on and do a higher degree straight away I have left it and am now too skint to apply but as soon as i can afford it i am getting the fuck out of dodge and giong for my masters ASAP\n\nGood luck i hope i have helped or at least not rambled on too much about nothing

Columbia University in NYC offers zoology \n\nBoston University offers Biology with specialization in Ecology and Conservation, BU also offers: Biology with specialization in Marine Science and they also offer a degree in environmental science. \n\n\nUCLA offers marine biology

Your sister might have to take a few courses to refresh her classes, but once she does that, I know Zoos and animal shelters and animal hospitals accept people with Zoology degrees.  Tell your sister to talk to the place she wants to work or a company resembling where she would like to work and ask their requirements for someone who has been out of school for that length of time. \n\nI hope this helps your sister.

Wanna be a mammalogist? Studying biology or zoology first would help. Then, apply to the mammalogy department of where you study, the practical experience would help. After that, you can specialize in your post graduate studies.

A good starting point is the section on Zoology from Wikipedia, the free, online encyclopedia at:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoology\n\nHope this helps!

Your local further education college usually does these courses. Living in London you must have plenty of choice?  Good luck.

I have a similar aspiration, which is why I earned my degree in biology, emphasizing on zoological sciences.  The idea is nice, but there is far more hard work involved than what you see on television.\n\nThe earlier recommendation of searching aza.org is good.  Also, check certain state and federal postings for any job openings or volunteer work.  It will also help you understand the not-so-enjoyable side to this concept.\n\nLike I mentioned earlier, get a degree.  A Bachelor's in Science has more clout with employers and prospective interested parties than not having a degree at all.  The same can be said for higher levels of degrees (Masters, Ph.D.).  Also, really look into what area of zoology you want to focus on.  Jeff Corwin, Steve Irwin, Michael O'Shea, and Nigel Marvin don't know every single species on the planet, but they either do research or focus on what they specialize in.  It would be best if you did the same.\n\nI wish you luck.

Most zoos require a Bachelor degee in Zoology to work as a keeper.  Zoo and Bio majors have very similar classes (at least they did at my university)  Includes lots of chemistry, physics, and upper division classes such as entomology, ornithology, mammalogy, animal physiology, animal behavior, etc.  Volunteering at a zoo will help you out a lot, the hands on experience is very valuable.  Good Luck.

Excellent choice! The first thing you need to do is locate universities that offer this course. Choose a warm climate school that employs some of the best researchers in the world and funds field research continuously. Plan on Eight years of university to earn your doctorate degree in marine biology. You will be exposed to some very interesting work and research, not to mention the adventure! You will need to become a certified diver, have sound knowledge of the plant and animal life in the ocean's of the world. once in school attach yourself to the team that has lots of field research, do the work asked of you and you will have some of the most brilliant and life changing experiences you could ever imagine.

yes, keep up with your sciences! With some forensic science degrees, a biology minor is permitted/recommended. Don't neglect your chemistry courses, please! Some kinesiology might be required, but on the whole, DNA, fingerprinting, anthropology, logic/reasoning, etc. courses are needed (don't worry about these, just take these in lieu of another elective; summer sessions will help with getting these out of the way). Get on the web, and search for universities that offer forensic science degrees. Michigan has an awesome program, and so do Sam Houston State University and UTSA (University of Texas at San Antonio, in Texas.    Hope this helps!

Most Veterinary colleges (at least in Canada) require you have a BSc. majoring in Biology of some sort.

You may want to start with Biology. You can also go on school websites and look at a list of courses you need to take for that field.

University of Maine at Orono has a very large biology program including biology, zoology, botany, molecular biology, and biochemistry.  Excellent research institute while maintaining a low student to teacher ratio (21:1) which is excellent for a school with 10,000+ students.  So you get personal attention while having lots of oppurtunites.

To become a veterinarian you will need to have an undergraduate major in a biology-related field.  These majors often require calculus I and II.  Some veterinary schools require statistics for admission but not all.  There are currently 28 accredited veterinary schools in the country and each one has slightly different admissions course requirements.  Admission into veterinary school is highly residency based, so identify your "state school" and find their particular requirements.  Its not impossible to get in, particularly into your state school.  Study hard, keep up with the Math and get as much experience working with animals and veterinarians as possible!  Best of luck.
