Overview

Key Features

Students of the Zoology - Fisheries Biology and Aquatic Conservation program at Southern Illinois University learn about fish in aquatic ecosystems, fish ecology and biology and also the management of fisheries. This is appropriate for those with career goals in fish or aquatic ecosystem management, aquaculture, or graduate studies in applied fish biology. Students are offered career-related experience, and both practical and critical thinking skills.

A major in Zoology is an appropriate beginning for those planning careers in teaching, research, or other employment in animal biology, environmental biology, fisheries biology, veterinary medicine, or wildlife biology. Students majoring in Zoology are required to develop an individualized curriculum in consultation with a faculty advisor within the program.

A student majoring in Zoology may work toward either a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. The B.A. with a major in Zoology provides the opportunity for a broad, liberal arts education by allowing students to take 20-25 hours of courses in areas of interest outside the major. The B.A. is appropriate for students who desire a strong background in zoology, but have interests in biology-associated careers in business, law, journalism, zoo keeping, or other fields.
