The country's first online zoology degree is taught by nationally renowned biologists at the College of Science. It features a wide range of courses on the biology of animals and opens opportunities to jobs in conservation, animal research and more.
The College of Science proudly announced the launch of the nation’s first online bachelor’s degree in zoology. One of Oregon State University’s longest-running and popular majors, the bachelor’s degree in zoology is the only one offered throughout the state of Oregon. Now the distinctive program provides online students across the country access to a zoology major at Oregon State studying the same robust curriculum as on-campus students.
The fully online program combines the university’s industry-leading online education and the department of integrative biology’s deep expertise in zoology and the life sciences. OSU has been teaching life sciences courses, including zoology, for more than 100 years.
“Oregon State is developing a strong life sciences presence online,” said Sally Hacker, professor of integrative biology in the College of Science. “Students in the online zoology program learn from faculty who are nationally recognized in their teaching and research from any location while also being able to tailor their studies to meet their interests in animal biology through a series of required and elective courses.”
