Many colleges might offer courses *in* zoology without having a dedicated zoology major or minor.
To find colleges with zoology programs, you'd need to search individually on college websites or use college search engines like Peterson's, CollegeBoard, or Niche, filtering by specific keywords like "zoology," "animal biology," or related terms. Even then, the results wouldn't be perfectly comprehensive. The number is likely in the hundreds, but a precise count is impractical to obtain.
