What is the best way to go about Marine Zoology?
Q. I am interested in majoring in Marine Zoology, but I'm unsure of how to go about it, since there really isn't really such a thing. I'm working towards an AA Pre Major of Marine Biology. I've done some research but I'm still unclear on what would be best to do? Marine Biology and maybe some Zoology thrown in the mix? Experieced suggestions greatly appreciated.

A. Go to a University that offers Biology (which should be most). Majoring in Marine Biology is good but not really any better than general biology. If you want to work with zoology, I would suggest minoring in veterinary or something along those lines. Most people who do marine animal research have Ph. D.'s, therefore I would strongly recommend going for your doctorate. Depending on what animals you want to work with, you might want to get your doctorate in any of these; Cetology (which is what I plan to do), Marine Mammalogy, etc.

My college only offers a certificate in zoology, will i still be able to apply to masters programs?
Q. I am planning at the moment to go for a certificate in zoology, or wildlife biology. After that i would probably work for a few years to gain experience and be sure it is a field i want to pursue. Then try to get my masters in one of the biology fields, probably marine biology. I am not yet committed to my college, should i look for a school that offers a 4 year degree or is a certificate fine for someone who wants to pursue a masters? Also, which option do you think would be better if marine biology is what i want to pursue?

A. I am afraid you would not be able to get any jobs without a degree. Even seasonal zoology/wildlife biology jobs that pay less than minimum wage require that you have a degree. Why not earn a bachelor degree and take a quarter off each year to do some volunteer work or internships. You might also get involved with research with a professor on campus. This week can let you get a feel for the job while still in school.

My majors in undergrad were wildlife management and biology (close enough to zoology) and you don't get nearly enough time under a microscope, which would have really helped me now in vet school. Remember, grades aren't everything, experience is equally important. I have some classmates with degrees in Journalism or Acting, that took the required courses and are now in vet school.

Asked by Eli - Mon Sep 14 01:09:36 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You generally don't need a minor to enter a Master's degree program. Once you have your Bachelor's degree from an accredited university in your major field of study, and as long as your GPA is at or above the required minimum that the institution holds its post-graduates to (usually 3.0 on a 0 to 4 scale), then you shouldn't have much trouble getting into a graduate program. The program's administrators will determine the course work requirements and prerequisites. But, even if you don't meet all them, they may still decide to let you into the program if you agree to take supplementary course work. Once again, your academic standing may be a large factor in decisions such as this.

It studies how organisms (e.g. plants and animals) interact with each other and their physical environment (e.g. climate and geology).

A. Physiology, anatomy, cell biology, genetics, endrocrinology (hormonal systems), etc. Unfortunately, the sciences can be very reductionist - they break everything down into tiny little components rather than looking at the whole system* - in this case, you'll probably learn a whole lot about the the various animal systems and components, but not necessarily so much about the animals as a whole. If you're at a good school you will also be studying about evolution, as this is the centre tenet of the biological sciences. * Ecology (by definition) tends to be the exception to this rule. Also, it's changing slowly, but not a great deal.

For research qualifications it is essential that your research alligns to that of your supervisor/s. My interest now is a lot different to 10 years ago when I was at your career stage so keep your options open. Go and say hello to the academics and ask them about their research. They would only be too happy to have an interested student inquiring about it.

To be a zookeeper, you do not need a degree - most zoos are more interested in experience with animals than qualifications. With or without a degree, a zookeeper's pay is generally quite poor - I used to be a zookeeper and earned minimum wage.

A. It depends on what job you want to do in the zoo - there are many, such as keepers, curators, directors, office staff, restaurant and gift shop workers, groundskeepers, electricians, etc. For many of these jobs, you don't need a degree, or at least not one in zoology. To be a zookeeper, you do not need a degree - most zoos are more interested in experience with animals than qualifications. With or without a degree, a zookeeper's pay is generally quite poor - I used to be a zookeeper and earned minimum wage. If you wanted to be a zoo curator or director, you're probably going to need business degrees as well as or even instead of one in zoology. These people make a lot more money, but don't really have any contact with the animals like… [cont.]

A. I don't think you can find any institution offering zoology in Singapore. You can easily find it in Australia or New Zealand.

What kind of profession/career involves studying ethology (study of animal behaviour) and perhaps zoology too?
Q. I am interested in zoology and especially ethology. Which kinds of careers are there availiable that suit these types of study? I don't really have much interest in the veterinary (animal doctor) area however. What else involves them?

A. Biologists. Biologists study animals in their natural habitat, zoos, in books, etc. I think it'd be great fun to be one, but it requires alot of work, not to mention excellent grades and the ability to survive in the wild. Or a zoologist, i.e. work at a zoo, own a zoo, etc. You take care of animals more here, but you still get to study them. Then there's always Park Rangers, such as in Yellow Stone? Yes, they have to watch the animals alot to make sure that everything's alright (also the rest of nature, plant growth, the rocks, water currents, etc.)

Is it worth for taking zoology class in college during high school year ?
Q. I'm coming in junior year. I love animal and probably, I want to be a zoologist or some kinds related. If my school doesn't have zoology class, should I take in community college for a good chance for university admission?

A. If this is something you're seriously interested in, it will definitely help you out personally and could help you in admissions because it shows commitment. It's a great idea because it will help you decide if it's really something you want to go into or not. If you can't take the class at the community college, you can also take classes like biology and anatomy to help you get prepared. You can also try to find some sort of internship, mentorship, or volunteer opportunity at a place that works with animals to give you a sense of what types of jobs people do on a day-to-day basis.

A. Well you have to take the classes that your college requires to obtain the degree. It is called a course study. For the most part your choices come down to electives. I would suggest you speak with your college advisory staff to see what you do and do not have to take. Just as a heads up if you want to be a keeper you will also need work related experience to get a full time job. To get that experience try checking with your local zoo for seasonal positions. Also, many require a four year degree and not a two year like you are going for. Check out the AZA webpage and their job postings to see further details of what some positions require. Good luck.
