<p>The two fields you mention, Zoololgy and Animal Science, are very different. Zoology is a branch of biology having to do with the *classification *of animals, while Animal Science has to do with the management and productiopn of animals (and at many schools, specifically with livestock animals). Virtually any large university will have a Zoology department within their biology department, but only some will have an animal science major. Are you planning graduate school? Veterinary medicine? Research? Zoo management??? If you want hands-on experience with animals, Zoology would not be the way to go, but if you are interested in research it might be. If you are planning graduate school to become a veterinarian it would not be a good idea to spend all your money on an out of state public like UC Davis for undergraduate - save the money to attend for graduate studies.</p>
<p>If by chance you are using the term “Zoology” to mean you are interested in managing Zoos, look into the excellent programs at Moorpark College in California and Santa Fe College in Florida. Many students do these two-year programs and then complete a bachelor’s in Animal Science, Animal Behavior, or Zoology.
