About the course

Zoology is a field within the biological sciences that is dedicated to the study of animals. Students learn how animals evolved, comparing their physiological, anatomical and behavioral adaptions, from tiny unicellular protista to terrestrial and marine birds and mammals. The B.A. in zoology is designed as a flexible program, allowing students to pursue an interdisciplinary or dual major to pursue careers in fields such as education or public relations. Learning zoology at UNH is enhanced by easy access to ocean, lake and mountain habitats. Our programs emphasize hands-on learning and directly engage undergraduate students in research. Our faculty are experts in a wide range of disciplines, including freshwater, estuarine and marine biology, aquaculture, physiology, neurobiology and behavior, and welcome undergraduate students into their labs. Students also have opportunities to work in numerous research facilities, including the Anadromous Fish and Aquatic Invertebrate Research Laboratory, the Aquaculture Research Center, the Chase Ocean Engineering Laboratory, Jackson Estuarine Laboratory, the Judd Gregg Marine Research Complex and the Shoals Marine Laboratory.
