Programs in the Department of Zoology are integrated with a wide diversity of programs across the MSU campus. Some highlights:
-
Opportunities for coursework in other biology departments, off-campus internships, study at the Kellogg Biological Station, and various Study Abroad programs.
-
Undergraduate students commonly work on research projects of faculty members as volunteers, as paid employees, or for course credit.
-
Graduate students are represented in all of MSU's interdepartmental graduate programs in the biological sciences; this fosters collaboration with biological scientists throughout the university.
-
Several faculty members from the Zoology Department are involved in interdisciplinary research projects with faculty from other MSU departments and from outside the university. The topics of these collaborations range from mitochondrial disease to cognitive science to experimental evolution to water science.
This connectivity makes the Zoology Department an unusually rich and dynamic center for the study of modern biology.
