The Program<br />

Take advantage of <strong>Humboldt</strong>’s vertebrate<br />

and invertebrate museums. Large populations<br />

of native animals offer a chance for<br />

real-life study. <strong>Humboldt</strong> <strong>State</strong> also houses<br />

animals in on-campus quarters. Electron<br />

microscopes are available for student use.<br />

Students interested in marine life have use<br />

of <strong>Humboldt</strong>’s marine laboratory, located in<br />

nearby Trinidad and the university’s research<br />

vessel, the Coral Sea.<br />

Graduates can pursue careers as: zoologists,<br />

technical writers, laboratory technicians,<br />

museum curators, entomologists,<br />

health technicians, ornithologists, animal<br />

nutritionists, ichthyologists, anatomists,<br />

embryologists, pathology technicians, or<br />

science librarians.<br />

Preparation<br />

In high school take biology, chemistry, and<br />

physics (with labs, if possible) plus algebra,<br />

geometry, and trigonometry.<br />

REQUIREMENTS<br />

Students must earn a minimum grade of<br />

C- in all prerequisite courses.<br />
