Demonstrate a general understanding of the levels of biological organization from the molecular to systems level.

Develop a deeper understanding in a range of subjects in the biological sciences through advanced coursework.

Apply the scientific method including making careful observations, asking questions, generating hypotheses, designing and conducting experiments, and analyzing and interpreting results (which includes the appropriate use of statistics).

Demonstrate the ability to find, read, and critically evaluate scientific information including primary literature.

Communicate topics in Zoology effectively.
