No. Really a major in Biology is pretty much the same as Zoology. Biology just includes plants. For example, at my college we only have a zoology major or a botany major. Really both of those are Biology majors. You could even consider Microbiology a Biology major. If becoming a "Zoologist" is what you want to do, you won't have to worry too much what you major in as long as its something related to the field. (You could maybe major in Chemistry and still become a Zoologist if you really wanted to).

If you get a major in Biology in a 4 year college but you want to become a Zoologist which is a certain kind of Biology would you then go to another college and study Zoology?

It's possible to become a zoologist with a biology degree by gaining relevant experience through internships, volunteer work, and research opportunities focused on zoology. However, if you want a more specialized education in zoology, pursuing a graduate degree in zoology or a related field may be beneficial. It's not always necessary to switch colleges for this; you can explore graduate programs that offer zoology concentrations within your current institution.


Do you have to go to trade school to become a zoologist?

No, you do not have to go to trade school to become a zoologist. Most zoologists typically have a bachelor's degree in zoology, biology, or a related field. However, advanced degrees like a master’s or a PhD may be required for certain positions in research or academia.

How are animals related to biology?

Biology is the study of living things; physics is the study of forces and energy.The systems that biologists study are very complicated, but they arise from the interaction of the forces that physicists study. For example, the same general principles of mechanics that physicists look at on their own are important in understanding how joints and muscles work in animals.You might say (if you were a physicist) that biology is 'built out of' physics.All fields or branches of science are at certain point related one to another. Some of them are more related, and some are less related. If you'll study extensively Biology,you'll notice for sure that something of physics will be found somewhere. And the inverse is also true.


Where is the best university to study zoology?

On the undergrad level, this question is irrelevant. On the graduate level, you are specializing in a certain taxonomic group or area (embryology, physiology etc.), so this question is somewhat vague. The current trend is away from zoology programs. Most have been cut or merged into biology programs. Your best bet would probably be to find a strong ecology program in your area of interest. There are a few strong zoology grad programs remaining- Michigan State, Cornell, U Hawaii, NC State, Miami U, TAMU, Oregon State, U Oklahoma, U Florida, U Maine, UNH, Wisconsin, Washington, and U British Columbia are a few I know of. Many marine science programs offer invertebrate zoology.


Unifying theory of biology?

Biology is a broad topic. There are certain givens within all studies of biology. The cell is the basic unit of life, genes are the base of heredity and evolution propels the creation of new species. Evolution is considered the unifying theory of biology.

Do you need biology to study law?

No, a background in biology is not necessary to study law. The two fields are separate disciplines with different focuses. However, knowledge of biology may be helpful in certain areas of law that intersect with science, such as environmental law or bioethics.
