Zoo biology minors have access to exciting learning opportunities outside the classroom. An important element of the program is the opportunity for hands-on field experiences.
Students can serve as apprentice zookeepers at the nearby zoo or aquarium.
They may assist in ongoing zoo-based research.
Or they can customize projects of their own.
Please note however that eligibility for these experiences depends in part upon the availability of positions at host institutions. A student must gain faculty sponsorship by excelling in appropriate background courses and by demonstrating prerequisite work habits, demeanor and reliability. Interested students should consult Dr. Noonan for details.
