MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ZOOLOGY – MS (ZOO)
DURATION: 02 YEARS (04 SEMESTERS) | CREDIT HOURS: 30
Zoology delves into the biology, anatomy, behavior, and conservation of animals. Students engage in research-based learning and fieldwork, with access to the department’s extensive Zoology Museum, which supports studies in biodiversity, taxonomy, and comparative anatomy. The program also offers practical training in sericulture (silk farming), providing students with valuable skills that blend biological science with rural development and income-generating practices.
The vision of a zoology department typically centers around advancing knowledge of animals, their biology, and their interactions with the environment, while also fostering a sense of responsibility towards animal welfare and conservation. This often includes a commitment to quality education, research, and the development of students. The department aims to be a recognized center of excellence in teaching and research related to zoology, including anatomy, physiology, ecology, genetics, and biotechnology. The department prioritizes research to expand our understanding of animal life, evolution, and their environments. The department focuses on various aspects, including animal behavior, conservation, biotechnology, and disease.
The mission of a zoology department generally focuses on education, research, and service in the field of animal studies. This includes equipping students with knowledge and skills in zoological science, conducting research to expand understanding of animal biology and ecology, and potentially promoting environmental awareness and conservation. Training students in zoological science, providing them with practical skills and ethical guidelines, and preparing them for careers in research, academia, or other fields requiring zoological expertise.
Generating new knowledge through research in various areas of zoology, including animal behavior, ecology, evolution, and conservation. Contributing to society by promoting awareness of animal diversity, conservation efforts, and the importance of understanding animal interactions within ecosystems. The department may also prioritize specific areas like molecular biology, physiology, or genetics, and may offer specialized programs in areas like fisheries or entomology.
