Program details
Overview
Zoology is an undergraduate major at the University of Guelph focused on the scientific study of animals, including their biology, ecology, behaviour and evolution, with attention to the relationship between animals and their environments and the impact of human activity on wildlife. The curriculum provides a foundation in the structure, function, physiology and ecology of vertebrates and invertebrates, alongside coursework in animal behaviour, adaptation and environmental response. Students gain hands-on laboratory experience in ornithology, ichthyology, herpetology and mammalogy, and take part in field courses at locations such as Algonquin Provincial Park and St. Andrews, New Brunswick. The program provides access to the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics and the university's 400-acre Arboretum, and students complete an independent research project in their fourth year. Rather than following fixed specializations, students customize their coursework according to their interests. Graduates pursue roles such as wildlife biologist, fisheries biologist, field biologist, museum curator and habitat developer, across public and private conservation-related sectors.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Zoology major follows the University of Guelph's general Ontario Secondary School admission process: an applicant's admission average is calculated from their top six completed 4U/M (or equivalent) courses, including any courses required for the program (or, where 4U/M courses are unavailable, a combination of top six completed or in-progress 4U/M and completed 3U/M courses). Cut-offs are determined by the quality and quantity of applications received and the space available in the program; published estimated cut-off ranges are a guide only and do not guarantee an offer of admission.
