Zoology Graduate Program

The School of Life Sciences (formerly Department of Biology) hosts the Zoology Graduate Program, offering three degrees: a  thesis M.S. (Plan A)  in Zoology, a more coursework-oriented  non-thesis M.S. (Plan B)  in Zoology, and the  Ph.D  in Zoology.

The thesis M.S. and the Ph.D. are research-oriented degrees, intended primarily for students intending a career involving research.

The non-thesis M.S. requires less research experience than does the thesis M.S. and so is appropriate for students planning non-research careers, such as teaching or government service.

For questions, call (808) 956-8617 or email: [email protected]

M.Phil. and PhD in Zoology

Introduction.

The M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in Zoology are primarily a research degree awarded based on a doctoral research thesis and satisfactory completion of research seminars and coursework. There is a strong foundation of research in Zoology, the study of animals, for many decades at the UWI, St Augustine Campus. Sub-disciplines of Zoology that have been and are still the focus of research include Invertebrate and Vertebrate Zoology particularly Entomology, Parasitology, Herpetology, Fish Biology, Fisheries and Aquaculture as well as interdisciplinary research in Marine and Freshwater Biology, Ecology, Conservation, and Pollution studies. Specialist facilities that support such research include laboratories in Biotechnology and Tissue Culture, Entomology, Environmental Biology, Ecology, Parasitology, Ecotoxicology, Biosystematics, Biochemistry, Histology, Microbiology, Aquaculture and Fisheries, the National Herbarium, Zoology Museum, Land Arthropod Collection and several greenhouses.

Persons interested in undertaking the Ph.D. in Zoology should initiate discussions and obtain advice from a prospective thesis supervisor in the Department of Life Sciences before applying.

The M.Phil. degree and PhD in Zoology aims to prepare students to conduct sound scientific research and develop theoretical and practical skills that can be applied in the private or public sector, particularly those with academic, research or regulatory responsibilities. The M.Phil. degree is also generally the starting point of a Ph.D. degree in Zoology.

The objectives of the M.Phil. degree and PhD in Zoology are;

• To provide fundamental preparation and training in research in Zoology including specific practical and research skills and approaches in a selected area of Zoology;
• To provide opportunities to develop transferrable skills; inculcate a culture of quality and responsibility in conducting research; and
• To enhance a student’s capacity to work effectively with others, to problem-solve, think critically and innovatively.

 The Ph.D. degree in Zoology aims to guide students in the conduct of significant scientific research and facilitate their development of advanced theoretical and practical skills that can be applied in the private or public sector, particularly those with academic, research or regulatory responsibilities.

The Ph.D. candidate is expected to use their research to make a significant contribution to knowledge or understanding in their specialist area by way of a doctoral thesis, publications in international peer-reviewed journals, and presentations at international conferences or meetings.

Thesis Proposal

Each Ph.D. student is required to submit to the department a research proposal that has been accepted by his/her supervisor and Supervisory Committee prior to scheduling the comprehensive exam. The comprehensive examination is separate and distinct from the evaluation of the thesis proposal.

Contents and Format

The candidate is expected to review the literature and develop the questions and methodologies to be used in the research carried out for the dissertation requirement of the PhD degree.

• The proposal should not exceed 25 double-spaced pages in length, using a 12 point font size.
• The proposal might spend 5-10 pages on background and 3-4 pages on each of 3-4 projects, discussing research questions and methods.

Different fields tend to follow slightly different formats for their proposals, and students are encouraged to discuss the most effective format with their supervisor.

General procedures

• The student should discuss the contents of the proposal with his/her supervisor.
• The supervisor should then approve a draft of the proposal before it is sent to the Supervisory Committee. This reading should be done in a timely fashion by the supervisor (within two weeks of receiving the draft). Committee members should be advised ahead of time that the proposal will be given to them on a particular date, so that time conflicts can be addressed.
• The Supervisory Committee should be given hard copies of the proposal and allowed a minimum of two weeks for reading and comments.
• The student and Supervisory Committee should meet to discuss the contents of the proposal and the proposed research. This meeting should be a discussion, not an e x a m i n a ti o n , b u t the c o m m it t ee m u st be a b le t o m a ke a d ecisi o n abo u t w h e t h er the p r o p o s ed thes i s is f easi b le f o r t h e stu d e n t t o d o .

• To allow time for preparation for the Comprehensive Exam, the committee meeting to discuss the research proposal should be held no less than two weeks in advance of the Comprehensive Exam. Thus, the Supervisory committee should be given the proposal no less than four weeks prior to the expected date of the Comprehensive Exam. Many proposals require some re-writing before approval, so allowing even more time before the expected Comprehensive Exam date is recommended.

The Department of Zoology is home to a community of researchers from a great diversity of disciplines, ranging from cell and developmental biology to field ecology and conservation. Evolutionary biology is a major focus of our work. We share an interest in whole organisms, and in how systems interact across different levels of organisation to generate the complexity of form, function and behaviour that is observed in the living world. Much of our work is underpinned by questions about evolution and an appreciation of the importance of the interactions between living organisms and their environments.

The MPhil degree is a one-year full-time, or two years part-time, course of research, culminating in the submission of a thesis after 11 months (after 22 months if part-time), followed by a viva voce examination. There are no taught components to this course but students do attend appropriate lectures and courses including training and transferable skills.

Students are supervised by at least one member of the academic staff who is an expert in the student's field of study. Supervisors support students in developing an independent and novel project in their field of interest. Students will learn how to review relevant literature, to phrase and answer scientific questions, and how to report their findings to the scientific community, at conferences and through peer-reviewed scientific publications. We very much encourage students to get experience in undergraduate teaching, which can be either as demonstrators during practical classes or supervisors teaching small groups. At the end of their degree, students will produce a written thesis, which will be assessed by independent experts during a viva. 

The course introduces students to research skills and specialist knowledge. Its main aims are:

• to give students with relevant experience at the first-degree level the opportunity to carry out focused research in the discipline under close supervision; and
• to give students the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests.

Most candidates taking this course start in October, in order to take advantage of Departmental and University induction programmes, but admission in January or April is also possible.

Please note: part-time study may not always be viable and will be considered on a case-by-case basis, so please discuss this option with your proposed supervisor before making an application for this mode of study.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the programme, students will have:

• a comprehensive understanding of techniques, and a thorough knowledge of the literature, applicable to their own research;
• demonstrated originality in the application of knowledge, together with a practical understanding of how research and enquiry are used to create and interpret knowledge in their field;
• shown abilities in the critical evaluation of current research and research techniques and methodologies; and
• demonstrated some self-direction and originality in tackling and solving problems, and acted autonomously in the planning and implementation of research.

Students completing the MPhil do not automatically continue to PhD.  The PhD in Zoology is a separate course that must be applied for in the usual way.

The Postgraduate Virtual Open Day usually takes place at the end of October. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions to admissions staff and academics, explore the Colleges virtually, and to find out more about courses, the application process and funding opportunities. Visit the  Postgraduate Open Day  page for more details.

See further the  Postgraduate Admissions Events  pages for other events relating to Postgraduate study, including study fairs, visits and international events.

The zoology major is a gateway to the diverse areas of modern biology. The major can be tailored to prepare students for advanced study and careers in many different areas: health professions and public health; law; life sciences research in university, government, and industrial settings; education including museum, nature center, secondary school, and college teaching; biotechnology; and environmental studies.

Specialized preparation is offered in ecology, systematics, limnology, morphology, molecular biology, cellular biology, developmental biology, genetics, neurobiology, physiology, evolution, and behavior. Several possible areas, emphasizing different interests, are outlined in the requirements tab. They include ecology, evolution, and behavior; anatomy, physiology, and organismal biology; and cellular, molecular, and developmental biology. The department encourages undergraduate participation in research and offers summer research scholarships to outstanding students.

Goals of the Zoology Major

The zoology major emphasizes critical thinking and conceptual skills that come from an understanding of how scientific information is obtained and evaluated, and of how this information can be applied to societal issues. The major provides a solid foundation in genetic, cellular, physiological, ecological, and evolutionary principles, and in the related disciplines of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. As a result, the major fosters an understanding of biological complexity including the interrelationships among humans and natural systems.

The unique characteristics of the zoology major include:

• broad-based, yet integrated training in wide-ranging areas of biology;
• solid foundation of basic principles and processes in biology;
• flexibility and advising needed to allow students to tailor the major to their specific goals;
• wide range of opportunities for undergraduate involvement in independent research and senior thesis.

All students who are interested in pursuing the zoology major must schedule an appointment with the Zoology Major advisor . No major declaration forms are required to declare zoology major.

Students can take ZOOLOGY/​BIOLOGY  101 Animal Biology and  ZOOLOGY/​BIOLOGY  102 Animal Biology Laboratory for the Introductory Biology requirement is recommended for students who complete this sequence.

Only 3 credits of ANAT&PHY 335 Physiology count toward the 6 credits of approved non-ZOOLOGY subject courses.

Residence and quality of work

• 2.000 GPA in all ZOOLOGY and major courses
• 2.000 GPA on 15 Upper Level major credits, taken in Residence 1
• 15 credits in ZOOLOGY, or courses that count for the major, taken on the UW–Madison campus

ZOOLOGY 299–699, intermediate/advanced BIOCORE, and courses that count toward the major that have an intermediate/advanced designation are considered Upper Level in the major.

To earn Honors in the Major in Zoology, students must satisfy both the requirements for the major (above) and the following additional requirements:

• Earn a 3.300 University GPA
• Earn a 3.300 GPA in all courses that count toward the major
• Complete 12 credits, taken for Honors, with individual grades of B or better. Select 6 credits from ZOOLOGY 300-680 or approved non-ZOOLOGY subject courses (above).
• Complete  ZOOLOGY 681 and  ZOOLOGY 682 , for a total of 6 credits. 1

A written thesis proposal must be approved by the thesis mentor and a department advisor. While most theses are completed during the fall and spring of a student’s senior year, other combinations of terms are possible. More information about the proposal process, timing, and grading of a thesis can be found on the Department of Integrative Biology website.

• Connect and describe the concepts that make up the structure and function of all living things through the principles of genetics, cellular biology, and physiology.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the diversity of life through the principles of evolution.
• Make connections between organisms, their habitats, and systems through the principles of ecology.
• Make connections between the biological sciences to humans and ecological systems and appreciate the complexity of these systems.
• Identify, think through, and solve a problem using quantitative reasoning and critical thinking skills.
• Develop an ability to plan and carry out scientific experiments by obtaining and evaluating scientific information and effectively communicating information through oral and written presentations.

Sample Four-Year Plan

This Sample Four-Year Plan is a tool to assist students and their advisor(s). Students should use it—along with their DARS report, the Degree Planner, and Course Search & Enroll tools—to make their own four-year plan based on their placement scores, credit for transferred courses and approved examinations, and individual interests. As students become involved in athletics, honors, research, student organizations, study abroad, volunteer experiences, and/or work, they might adjust the order of their courses to accommodate these experiences. Students will likely revise their own four-year plan several times during college.

Students can take ZOOLOGY/​BIOLOGY  101 Animal Biology and  ZOOLOGY/​BIOLOGY  102 Animal Biology Laboratory for the Introductory Biology requirement is recommended for students who complete this sequence.

Student may also satisfy Introductory Biology with BIOCORE.  Consult the advisor for the program regarding this option.

Students are encouraged to consult with a department advisor to construct individual programs appropriate to their own needs. Please use Starfish or call 608-262-2742 to make an appointment with the zoology advisor. iBio Starfish

Directed Study

The zoology major is an excellent scaffold for students interested in an undergraduate research experience. A maximum of 10 credits of Directed Studies ( ZOOLOGY 299 , ZOOLOGY 698 , ZOOLOGY 699 ), Senior Thesis ( ZOOLOGY 691 , ZOOLOGY 692 ), or Senior Honors Thesis ( ZOOLOGY 681 , ZOOLOGY 682 ) will count toward the 30 credits required for the major.

The Department of Integrative Biology offers both ZOOLOGY 299 Directed Studies in Zoology and  ZOOLOGY 699 Directed Studies in Zoology . ZOOLOGY 299 is recommended for students before they have completed their introductory biology course sequence, and ZOOLOGY 699 is recommended for students who have completed their introductory biology course sequence. Directed Studies in Zoology are graded on an A to F scale. Students cannot take Directed Studies on a pass/fail basis.

Directed Studies allows students to gain experience in a wide range of research areas in biology and to learn research techniques that are not easily taught in the classroom. Such experiences allow students to make more informed decisions about their future goals and careers.

Before students can enroll in ZOOLOGY 299  or  ZOOLOGY 699 , they must set up an appointment with a professor/mentor of their choice, and work with the professor/mentor to:

• Decide the specific number of credits, and
• Plan the work required to earn those credits.

Such plans can involve reviewing relevant literature in the area, developing a proposal for independent research, and/or conducting an experiment in the mentor's study area.

Students interested in doing in-depth research as undergraduates in an area of interest can elect to do a Senior Thesis or Senior Honors Thesis (see below). Students should contact a department advisor at the beginning of their junior year to explore possible research areas.

Senior Thesis

Students interested in making a longer-term commitment to a research project may consider undertaking a Senior Thesis. Students should contact a department advisor during their junior year to explore possible research areas in zoology.

Zoology Senior Thesis Requirements:

• Approval of a department advisor, and
• Completion of ZOOLOGY 691 and ZOOLOGY 692 , a two-semester thesis research sequence, during the senior year (6 credits).

It is recommended that candidates for the Senior Thesis take ZOOLOGY 699 during second semester junior year to prepare for the thesis.
