Carroll University?s animal behavior major introduces you to the scientific methods with which people study the behavior of animals?from how the brain and nervous system influence behavior, to how animals learn new behaviors and solve problems, to why particular types of behavior evolve in the wild.

Earning your degree in animal behavior prepares you for a variety of careers, such as a wildlife biologist, researcher, zookeeper, animal trainer, wildlife rehabilitator?or laboratory manager. It can also be a launching point for your master?s or doctoral degree or a professional program such as veterinary sciences. You may dream of enriching the lives of animals in a zoo setting, helping people with disabilities through animal-assisted therapy, protecting endangered species?or ensuring the health and welfare of companion animals surrendered to shelters and rescue organizations. This degree can help those dreams come true.
