Our mission in the Department of Zoology at Miami University
is to provide graduate students with excellent academic preparation and research
experience. The Department is one of the largest at Miami University and also one
of the largest Zoology programs in the nation. This allows us to offer a wide range
of courses and seminars from cellular and molecular biology to neuroscience, conservation
and environmental biology.
The Department has outstanding laboratory facilities that are supported by the University, as well as by grants from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, National Institutes of Health; National Science Foundation; the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Facilities include DNA sequencing, synthesizing, and analytical equipment and specialized equipment for cellular, developmental and neurophysiological research, including electron microscopy and confocal laser facilities.

The 34 faculty members in the Zoology Department work closely with our students to help them plan their programs of study, conduct research, and pursue special internship and employment opportunities. Our graduate students have excellent success at acquiring faculty and research positions in colleges and universities, as well as employment in research laboratories, state and national government agencies, and private firms.
Miami University is known for its classic architecture and beautiful campus. It is located in scenic, pastoral southwestern Ohio, one hour from Cincinnati and Dayton, and is adjacent to the quaint and historic town of Oxford. The University and town offer a peaceful and friendly community in which students can make use of the faculty and facilities to achieve their career goals.
