Graduate Coordinator: R. M. DEWITT
 The Department of Zoology offers graduate work leading to the degrees of
 Master of Science in Teaching, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy.
 The work of the department is divided into two general areas: comparative
 biology of the whole organism, and studies at the cellular and molecular level
 of organization. All candidates for graduate degrees will be required to take
 the following: introductory biology or zoology, ecology, embryology, compara-
 tive anatomy or functional morphology, invertebrate or vertebrate zoology,
 genetics, cellular physiology, one year of physics, chemistry through organic,
 and a sequence in mathematics or statistics. The remainder of the student's
 program will be determined by his supervisory committee.
 Undergraduate preparation in zoology: Prospective graduate students should
 take as undergraduates as many as possible of the courses listed in the pre-
 ceding paragraph. These courses constitute a core curriculum for all candidates
 for the M.S.T., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees. Any of the courses not taken as an
 undergraduate must be made up early in the graduate program and without
 graduate credit.
 Entrance requirements: The minimum requirements for admission to the
 graduate program in zoology include an average of 500 or better on the
 Verbal and Quantitative portions of the Graduate Record Examination and
 a major in zoology plus a total of 30 credits in chemistry, physics, and mathe-
 matics, or a major in chemistry, physics, or mathematics plus 21 credits in
 zoology. Students with special training or aptitudes may be allowed some
 variation in prerequisites.
 Examinations: All graduate students will be given a written examination
covering the zoological portion of the core program by the Departmental
Examining Committee early in their first term of residence. The results of
this examination will be used in planning the student's program. It will be the
responsibility of the candidate's supervisory committee to take whatever action
is necessary to insure that the nonzoological portion of the core program
is satisfactorily completed.
