animal behavior major

<p>Is there such a major? If so, what colleges have it?</p>

<p>It's probably more of a graduate field of study. You should be looking at distinct disciplines within biological sciences, such behavioral ecology (the environmental biology of animals), zoology or neurobiology.</p>

<p>Bucknell has an animal behavior program</p>

<p>If you mean the study of the behavior of domestic animals or laboratory animals in controlled situations (e.g. rats in a maze), then that's a branch of Psychology and you should look into psychology programs.</p>

<p>If you mean the study of the behavior wild animals living in the wild (e.g. Jane Goodall studying chimps), then that's a subspecialty of Zoology and you should look into zoology departments.</p>

<p>Not sure, but I think the field is called Ethology or Comparative Psychology. I don't know any school where you can major in it.</p>

<p>there is a major called ethology, but i dont think it's very common, if I wore u I would propably get your undergrad. in biology and than ur master in ethology...</p>

<p>Any school with a proximity to a zoo has a biology major with zoology or a zoology major.</p>

<p>Check out Ohio Wesleyan, Miami University of Ohio, Lewis & Clark, Rhodes, Tulane</p>

<p>also Cornell, Duke and Davidson have good macrobiology majors for animal behavior</p>

<p>and the big universities like UC Davis,</p>

<p>UC Davis has animal science.
ANS</a> Major</p>

<p>The also have animal biology, but I believe thats more a pre-vet thing.</p>
