| The Animal Biology Emphasis is designed for students interested in pursuing a career or graduate study in organismal zoology. Students find employment with organizations such as the DNR, zoos, animal rehabilitation centers, and laboratories. The emphasis is also appropriate for pre-veterinary students. Students will gain expertise in animal biodiversity, ecology, evolution, anatomy, and physiology. Additional electives may address animal development, behavior, management, or systematics. |

| Grand Valley's location is ideal for the study of animal biology. Diverse field and forest ecosystems may be found on the extensive GVSU campus and many of the courses offered in the Animal Biology emphasis have extensive field-based labs that take advantage of nearby habitats. The unique lakeside and dune environments adjoining Lake Michigan are only a short drive away. The extensive wetlands of the Grand River, which flows adjacent to the campus, provide other fascinating places for biological studies. To support the Animal Biology emphasis, the Biology Department is developing extensive collections of study skins, skeletons, preserved specimens, and slides. There are laboratories for studies in physiology, anatomy, and microscopy. |
