Zoology Minor
https://colsa.unh.edu/biological-sciences/program/minor/zoology
The Zoology Minor is designed to provide a general introduction to animals and their ecology, while requiring in-depth knowledge of the diversity of at least one group (Animal Survey Course), a course dealing with animal structure, behavior, or physiology, and an additional animal-focused course of the student’s choice.
The Zoology minor requires five courses.
