What are the best colleges in America/Europe to get a Zoology major?

Answer 1

You can major in biology at virtually any college or university in the USA, so the list of top bio schools is the same as the list of top schools in general. Anyone who graduates from Duke, UCHicago, the Ivies, or the top Lib Arts schools such as Amherst, Williams, Davidson, Bowdoin, not to mention the elite state schools such as Michigan, Wisconsin, UNC, UCal, etc with a strong bio degree will have a very good education and be ready to go on to medical, veterinary, healthsciences, or academic biology programs of any kind at any level.

There are literally hundreds and hundreds of schools that have bio majors. Majoring in zoology is not such a great idea because if you study only animal biology it will cut you out of many grad programs and jobs where you need more general biology knowledge (say, microbiology) that may not be taught in a zoology major. You would need to check carefully to be sure that a zoology program covered all the general biology bases.

Try to narrow down your interests - if there is a particular area of bio that you are interested in, why not check with some people who work in that area and see what their recommendations are, rather than shotgunning a question out to Yahoo where the answered are likely to be pretty ignorant and shortsighted. This is not a good place to get advice about such an important decision in your life.

Answer 2

I would recommend UC Davis' Animal Science major. After all, the University has the best Vet School in the country.
