As a research-led unit, the Department of Zoology enjoys a National reputation for research excellence that attracts the highest calibre students and researchers and academics from different parts of the country. Some of the world’s leading academics are also invited for guiding research in their fields.
The department is committed to maintain an intellectually stimulating environment that offers high standard of research facilities and a broad and innovative skills development scope for the researchers.
All the faculty members are engaged in Research & Development and under each of them a good number of students have received their Ph. D. degree and many are still pursuing heir Ph. D. studies in respective fields.
In today’s competitive world, everybody needs to have an edge and the Department of Zoology has an enviable reputation for making sure our postgraduates are successful competitors in obtaining jobs in academic as well as in other fields.
The two year taught Master Degree course has been divided into 4 Semesters, each semester having 500 marks. Students are allowed to have a special paper of their interest in the 4th Semester course.
There are five special papers viz.
Animal Ecology & Wildlife Biology
Animal Physiology & Biochemistry
Cell & Molecular biology
Entomology
Fish Biology & Fishery Science
Livestock and poultry contribute significantly to the agro-based economy of Bangladesh. Commercial enterprises aimed for dairy, poultry and meat production are taking the strong roots and the demand for diversified veterinary services expanding with the increased economic growth of the country. Keeping these views in consideration, the department started its endeavor in 2004 in order to fostering quality veterinary education and to produce creative, efficient and modern professional leaders to face the demand of 21st century. The department offers course-credit semester based multidisciplinary Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree. Recently, the department introduced M Phil and PhD program. The graduates of this department have a high prospect to join various prestigious jobs including Bangladesh Civil Service, Government & Non-Government organizations and self-employing income generating activities. A total of 51 students of three batches are studying at present. Currently, 10 teachers are engaged in teaching and research in the department.

We work closely with the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul. They have advised us that students should complete an undergraduate major before starting veterinary school. Most of our pre-vet students are biology majors.
The University of Minnesota accepts only a limited number of veterinary students, with residents of Minnesota as the largest group. They also accept a few students from Wisconsin, Nebraska and North Dakota. If you are a legal resident of some other state, I suggest that you contact whatever college of veterinary medicine you plan to attend. Your pre-veterinary curriculum at MSUM can then be tailored to fit requirements of the veterinary school of your choice.
Our pre-vet curriculum (biology major) is based on a strong background in chemistry and physics and also meets certain minimum requirements in math. The first semester freshman typically takes English (Eng. 101), math (depending on previous preparation), Cell Biology (Biol. 111), and General Chemistry (Chem. 150 & 155). The pre-vet curriculum is essentially the same as that followed by other pre-professional students and would prepare one for a wide variety of alternatives.
Missouri S&T students have been very successful in gaining admission to medical, veterinary and dental schools. A pre-health professions program does not require a specific major. It does require considerable coursework in chemistry, biology, anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and one year of physics is highly recommended.
