Special project courses in Zoology cover topics not otherwise covered by general education courses and other courses in the Catalog for the Zoology discipline. These courses require direct experience and focused reflection in an in-depth study of a specific topic and/or the critical analysis of contemporary issues. They are targeted to self-selected students with an interest in the subject matter and involve active participation. The course delivery incorporates an experiential component of no less than 30 percent but not to exceed 70 percent. This experiential component may include field studies, interdisciplinary learning, and/or the practical application of Zoology concepts, theories, principles, and methods with a specific focus. All courses require an orientation session to deliver academic and experiential information (syllabus, academic requirements, field preparation, logistics, etc.)
Exploration and analysis of topics within Zoology to meet individual student-defined course description, goals, objectives, topical outline and methods of evaluation in coordination with and approved by the instructor. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor is required (1 to 4 lecture hours)
The classification, anatomy and physiology of vertebrates is presented in a comparative manner. Topics include vertebrate evolution, vertebrate development, and various body systems and their organs.

Special project courses in Zoology cover topics not otherwise covered by general education courses and other courses in the Catalog for the discipline, while building on academic knowledge and skills acquired in introductory-level classes. These courses require direct experience and focused reflection in an in-depth study of a specific topic and/or the critical analysis of contemporary issues. They are targeted to self-selected students with an interest in the subject matter and involve active participation. The course delivery incorporates an experiential component of no less than 30 percent but not to exceed 70 percent. This experiential component may include field studies, interdisciplinary learning, and/or the practical application of more complex zoology concepts, theories, principles and methods with a specific focus. All courses require an orientation session to deliver academic and experiential information (syllabus, academic requirements, field preparation, logistics, etc.) Prerequisite: At least one course in Zoology or consent of instructor
