<p>I live in Tennessee and I am looking for a college that offers an exceptional zoology program. I don't necessarily want to stay too close to home but I would like to stay in the eastern half of the country. Any suggestions? I need help!</p>

<p>Don’t limit your search to departments/majors that are labeled as “zoology”.</p>
<p>While the traditional division of biology into botany and zoology departments still exists, primarily at some public land-grant universities, it is now more common to divide biology into departments of molecular biology and departments of ecology & evolution. (There are other variations in the names of these departments, depending on the particular school, e.g., organismic & evolutionary biology.) So, much of what traditionally has been taught in zoology departments now falls under the aegis of departments of ecology & evolutionary biology. Also, some schools that have a general biological sciences dept.offer subconcentrations, which may include zoology or ecology & evolution. </p>
<p>There are many strong ecology & evolution (or zoology) departments at a wide range of schools. So,depending on your specific qualifications and preferences, some programs to consider: Princeton, Columbia, Harvard, Cornell, Duke, Washington U, Emory, Purdue, Yale, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Dartmouth, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina, Georgia, Chicago, Indiana, Brown, Florida, Ohio State.</p>
