Course Description: General Zoology

General Zoology

56-1125

This class examines the diversity of the animal kingdom, focusing on the major groups of invertebrates and vertebrates. We will study these animals in an evolutionary context, emphasizing ecology, life history, and morphology. The lab component will include dissections to examine physical differences across the major phyla. It is recommended that students have a strong background of biology in high school or a previous biology course in college (e.g. Biology the Living World, Animal Physiology, Human Physiology, or Marine Biology).

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
