LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES Anderson Hall houses archives, a library, an art gallery, offices and meeting spaces. The center cooperates with faculty groups concerned with women's issues such as the Association for Academic Women and GEAP (Gender, Environment and Agriculture Program). It also has contact with student groups such as WSSA, Campus NOW and the Women's Affairs Cabinet. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: As an inter- disciplinary program, women's studies pre- pares students for a broad range of employ- ment and graduate or professional study. It gives high priority to helping students make informed choices about careers. The women's studies graduate certificate (12 credits) and a Ph.D. concentration are available to any gradu- ate student for additional career preparation. Graduates may find employment as counselors, therapists, social workers, attorneys, journal- ists, market-analysts, political analysts, college professors, television producers, union organiz- ers for women workers and fundraisers for women's organizations. THE MAJOR: A major in women's studies may be arranged through the college's interdis- ciplinary studies program (2014 Turlington). In addition to College of Liberal Arts and Sciences requirements, the major requires 28 credits: 18 credit hours of approved courses (see list in the Description of Courses), the core course WST 3010 (3 credit hours), three credit hours of inde- pendent study (WST 4905) and four credit hours of thesis (IDS 4906). All courses must be passed with a grade of C or better. The thesis project should be designed in consultation with a mem- ber of the women's studies faculty and the pro- gram director. As is the case with all interdisci- plinary majors, after the student works out a specific program, it must be approved by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Interdisciplinary Studies Committee. Applications are available in 115 Anderson and 2014 Turlington. CLAS requirements regarding electives must be satisfied, typically by developing a course schedule with the student's sponsors. The electives should complement the particular emphasis chosen by the student. Since many of the 3000-4000 level courses have prerequisites, students should plan their first four semesters work with the major in mind. Under certain cir- cumstances, instructors will waive some prereq- uisites for IDS majors, but with space at a pre- mium, students should not count on avoiding stated requirements. THE MINOR: Students must complete 15 credit hours of approved course work, includ- ing the core course WST 3010 (3 credit hours). At least nine credit hours must be taken at the 3000 level or higher (no more than three credits of independent study will count). All courses must be passed with a grade of C or better. Courses applied to the women's studies minor do not count for both the student's major and the WST minor. Applications are available in 115 Anderson. Zoology Read the earlier sections describing general education and CLAS requirements. Refer espe- cially to the Majors and Minors in the College section for program variations and other clari- fying information. At the time this catalog went to press, sev- eral changes were pending in the universal tracking plans for majors and for course level (1000, 2000, etc.) for certain courses in the State University System. Students should consult the relevant department or 100 AAC for up-to-date course information. THE MAJOR: Students planning to major in zoology should see a department adviser in 223 Bartram Hall to plan an undergraduate pro- gram and prepare career goals. Majors should begin Integrated Principles of Biology (BSC 2010-2010L, 2011-2011L) and the general chemistry sequence in the freshman year and should complete calculus (MAC 2311) as early as possible. The minimum number of credits (passed with a C or better) required for the basic zool- ogy major is 32, including the following courses: Integrated Principles of Biology (BSC 2010- 2010L, BSC 2011-2011L), Genetics (PCB 3063), and at least three zoology courses at the 3000- 4000 level. No more than six credit hours of Individual Studies in Zoology (ZOO 4905) will count toward the credit-hour requirement. With prior department approval, two biological sci- ence courses (3000-5000 level) taught in other departments may be used to fulfill the credit- hour requirement. A list of appropriate courses is available from a department adviser. Also required are one year of physics (PHY 2053 or PHY 3048 with PHY 2055L, PHY 2054 or PHY 2056L); one semester of analytic geometry and calculus (MAC 2311) and either a second semester of analytic geometry and calculus (MAC 2312) or statistics (STA 3023); and chem- istry through organic (CHM 2210, 2211-2211L or CHM 3217, 2211L). Students should begin the chemistry and math sequences as soon as possi- ble. A full year of calculus, a course in statistics (such as STA 3023) and a course in computer and information sciences (such as CGS 2531) are highly recommended. Transfer students must take at least three zoology courses (excluding ZOO 4905, 4926 and 4940) at the UF as part of the requirements for the major. Alternatives to the basic major in zoology have been designed for students seeking a) a career in zoology; b) preprofessional prepara- tion in medicine, dentistry, optometry, veteri- nary medicine and other health-related profes- sions; and c) preparation for teaching biology in secondary schools. CAREER ZOOLOGIST SPECIALIZA- TION: Zoology majors in this specialization should work closely with a department adviser to plan for graduate school or career choices. Advisers will provide guidance for admission to graduate school and will assist students in selecting appropriate graduate programs. Students should participate in supervised research through Individual Studies in Zoology (ZOO 4905; 3 or more credit hours) by the sec- ond semester of the junior year. The Graduate Record Examination should be taken in the fall of the senior year, and applications to graduate schools should be completed by the January prior to expected fall-term admission. This specialization has the same minimum credit-hour requirement (32); the same Integrated Principles of Biology (BSC 2010- 2010L, 2011-2011L) and Genetics (PCB 3063) requirement; and the same physics, math and chemistry requirement as listed for the basic zoology major. The following biological science curriculum is recommended.
