Animal Behavior is the study of what animals do to understand, interact with, and navigate their environments. The field of animal behavior examines the causes, functions, development, and evolution of behavior including the stimuli that affect behavior, whether external or internal.
The degree in animal behavior is particularly valuable for students interested in careers in animal biology and behavior (e.g. research and teaching, wildlife management and conservation, animal training, zoo management, etc.).
Pre-veterinary students may opt to choose the Animal Behavior major with a Pre-vet Track to complete requirements for Veterinarian Schools.
For more information on the animal behavior major, visit the departmental website and the College of Arts and Sciences Academic Bulletin.
Linked codes have a College Actually course page. Check the bulletin for the full requirements.
