Zoology, the study of the behavior, origins and life processes of animals, is a popular and versatile major. Zoology studies range from researching a particular animal and its ecosystem, to human effects on a specific species, to studying an animal at the molecular level. Since zoology is such a diverse field, a B.A. degree will provide you with a strong background that can take you wherever you want to go, in zoology or related fields.
The B.A. program in zoology at UVM requires a mix of introductory level life sciences and mathematics courses. After that, your advisor can help you to choose electives that align with your interests. From Winter Ecology to Physiology & Reproduction, you’ll find electives that challenge, inspire, and mold your B.A. degree into whatever you want it to be.
The Bachelor of Science in Special Education (B.S.Ed.) is designed to provide students with the perspectives and skills necessary to work with all individuals with disabilities from birth through age 21 and their families in a range of family-centered, culturally responsive, inclusionary, and developmentally appropriate settings including home, community settings and schools.

This program is designed to provide fundamental training in basic and applied research toward a graduate degree in Animal Biosciences. UVM seeks highly motivated, outstanding students interested in pursuing an accelerated Master’s degree, a traditional Master’s degree, or a doctoral degree.
After determining an area of specialization, students are guided by their research mentor and a graduate advisory committee in designing a program of study that will develop knowledge and skills appropriate to the student’s professional and career objectives. This program prepares students for careers in basic or applied animal sciences, working at universities, colleges, government agencies, private industry, or public health education programs.
An interdisciplinary program leading to the Ph.D. degree in Animal Biosciences is offered under the direction of a committee composed of program graduate faculty. The goal of this interdisciplinary program is to provide advanced education and research training in nutrition, metabolism, lactation, reproduction, genetics, and/or animal health. All Ph.D. students will complete a common core of courses as well as specific courses to support their research programs. The program provides the flexibility necessary for students to gain competence in the area of their choice.
The Department of Biochemistry is a multidisciplinary program in basic science that encompasses a wide-range of advanced research topics utilizing cutting edge approaches in cellular and molecular biochemistry.
Acceptance into the Master’s Degree (MS) program requires an acceptable undergraduate major in biochemistry, chemistry, or a related field.
To be accepted into the program students must have completed yearlong courses in: biology, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and physics. In addition, a quantitative chemistry course and mathematics (preferably through differential and integral calculus). If a physical chemistry course has not been taken previously, a student must take Physical Chemistry (CHEM 165) (2600) in their first year (for which they do not receive credit toward the MS degree).
An Accelerated Masters Program is also available at UVM.
Plant biology is key to the future prosperity of the human population. In the same way that basic medical researchers seek clinical solutions to fundamental challenges in human health care, as plant biologists we seek to provide the insights that make it possible to feed, clothe, and shelter our ever-larger population in spite of intensifying environmental concerns, especially climate change. Today’s students will make decisions critical to the future of our species, which must be informed by our insights into plants, the source of all sustenance.
Political science can be summed up as the study of power: how power is aggregated and exercised.
Political scientists examine the process of group decision-making and ethical implications, leading us to consider concepts of community, identity, justice and citizenship. In the American politics field, our department offers courses on the presidency, Congress, the courts, media and politics, parties and elections, constitutional law, civil rights, gender issues, women in politics and political leadership. Students can take courses in ancient, medieval and modern political theory as well as theory courses organized around themes like global justice, ethics, citizenship and religion and the state.
The Department of Psychological Science at UVM offers both a bachelor of arts (B.A.) degree and a bachelor of science (B.S.) degree. Which option you choose will depend on your specific interests and whether you are more comfortable with arts, humanities, social sciences, and languages or with natural sciences and mathematics. If you plan on pursuing graduate studies in psychology or a related field, the B.S. option may be best for you. This program places a stronger emphasis on math, science and lab courses, leading to careers in research, academics, medicine or neuroscience.
