I have a degree in zoology and this is what I had to take: Introduction to Biology, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Cell & Molecular Biology, General Chemistry, Principles of Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Applied Calculus, Calculus
and
At least 20 credits from the following courses:
Zoology Seminar
[best taken with junior or senior standing]
[and]
3 laboratory courses from the following list:
Vertebrate Embryology (5, F)
Developmental Biology (5, S)
II. Genetics
____ BIOL 375+375L: Concepts of Genetics (4, F)
____ GENE 451+453: Concepts of Genetics (4, F)
III Physiology
____ BIOL 406+406L: Cell Biology (5, F)
____ BIOL 407+407L: Molecular Biology (5, S)
____ ZOOL 430+430L: Animal Physiology (4, S)
____ ZOOL 431: Physiology of Cell Membranes (3, F-odd)
____ ZOOL 432+432L: Comparative Physiology (5, F-even)
IV. Ecology & Behavior
____ ZOOL 306+306L: Ethology (3, S)
____ ZOOL 439+439L: Animal Ecology (5, F)
____ ZOOL 470+470L: Limnology (3, S-odd)
V. Morphology & Taxonomy
____ ZOOL 320+320L: Vertebrate Zoology (5, F)
____ ZOOL 340+340L: Parasitology (4, S odd)
____ ZOOL 416+416L: Histology (5, F)
____ ZOOL 465+465L: Ichthyology (4, F-even)
____ ZOOL 475+475L: Invertebrate Zoology (5, F)
____ ENTO 263: General Entomology (4, F)
____ ENTO 461: Insect Morphology (3, F)
____ ENTO 462: Systematic Entomology
If you are planning to continue their professional education beyond the BA Degree should also include courses in genetics, botany, one year of physics, mathematics through calculus, and proficiency in an appropriate scientifically active language (e.g., French, German, Russian, Japanese).
Good luck, the world needs more zoologists!!!!

Besides the "general " subjects you will need Algebra, trigonometry, some physics and probably a semester or two of Calculus. You will also need Biology, Animal Anatomy and Physiology, biochemistry and organic chemistry. At least one semester of statistics will probably be required. You may have to take genetics too. I have a BS in Environmental Biology and a lot of the requirements are the same. Those are the main ones I can think of.
If you aren't great in Math, just get a tutor and you can make it.

You will definitely have to take some biology, ecology, chemistry, physics, calculus,and physiology along with vertebrate and invertebrate zoology. Depending on what school you go to you will have to take upper division zoology classes such as ornithology, mammalogy, entomology, embryology, etc.
