 The Department of Zoology offers the degrees of
 Master of Science in Teaching, Master of Science, and
 Doctor of Philosophy with specialization in animal
 behavior, ecology, genetics, paleontology, physiology,
 and systematic biology. Specific areas of specialization
 include evolutionary biology, marine biology, popula-
 tion biology, and tropical biology.
 New graduate students should have completed
 undergraduate courses in ecology, embryology, com-
 parative anatomy, invertebrate and vertebrate zoology,
 genetics, physiology, one year of physics, chemistry
 through organic, and a sequence in mathematics or
 statistics. These courses constitute a core curriculum for
 all candidates for a graduate degree.
 Each new graduate student will be given a written
 screening examination covering the zoological portion
 of the core curriculum by the departmental examining
 committee early in the first term of residence. The results
 of this examination will be used in planning the student's
 program.
