Does CSU have a Zoology Major?

I'm super interested in Zoology and am considering applying to CSU. Does anyone know if they offer a major in Zoology? I've looked online but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Thanks for any help you can provide.

While the CSU system is vast, and individual campuses may vary, many of the campuses do not offer a specific degree in Zoology. However, CSU campuses generally offer strong Biological Sciences programs, and some like CSU Long Beach have an option for a concentration in Organismal Biology that could potentially align well with your interest in Zoology.

Additionally, programs like Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology at CSU Sacramento or CSU's strong Environmental Science programs may offer some appropriate pathways for your interests in studying living organisms.

Remember, many professionals in the field of Zoology actually hold degrees in closely related disciplines like Biology or Environmental Science. Therefore, if you can't find a straight Zoology major, don't fret! Look into related majors and courses that will give you the knowledge and skills you need to pursue a career in the field.

Lastly, it would be a good idea to reach out directly to the respective biology departments or to an admissions counselor at the CSUs you're considering since they could provide you with more specific information.
