Course description

This course is a broad biology-based program leading to specialised studies in:
- Animal structure
- Metabolism
- Reproduction: breeding and biotechnology
- Genetics
- Ecology
- Behaviour
- Animal Nutrition
- Animal Health
- The impact of man on animals.

The course incorporates an innovative project-based teaching program, allowing students to work on a research project or carry out work experience during third year.

The course has been designed to provide an alternative pathway to Veterinary Science, and also for Honours year studies in Zoology.

Students preparing to go into dentistry, medicine or veterinary medicine take many of the same entry courses. These suggested courses should aid students in preparing for medical fields, but successful completion of these courses does not ensure entry into professional schools. A student usually must earn a bachelor’s degree in any area of interest before being considered by a professional school. Final acceptance by a professional school is based on analysis of previous college work, special entrance examinations and other criteria.

All pre-professional areas in this program guide require two years of chemistry, one year of physics, and one to two years of biology/zoology. A student’s mathematics skills should extend through a minimum of Mathematics 1432, Trigonometry. Students should begin the appropriate course sequences as soon as practical.

The professional fields of dentistry, medicine and veterinary medicine are well known for their social, psychological, economic and essential benefits to both patient and practitioner. Entry into professional schools is very competitive; successful entrants will have superior character and excellent performance in courses and admissions tests.

The masters program in the Department of Fisheries, Animal and Veterinary Science requires the GRE and an undergraduate major in the biological sciences with a concentration in animal science, fisheries science, marine biology, microbiology, preveterinary medicine, or zoology, or a postgraduate professional degree (M.D., D.V.M., V.M.D.); one year of organic chemistry and physics. Courses in statistics, histology, and physiology are strongly recommended. The TOEFL is required of students from countries where English is not the predominantly spoken and written language. Admission requirements for the Ph.D. degree program are the same as those for the masters degree except for an additional Ph.D. qualifying examination normally administered one year after matriculation into the program.
