BA/BS in Animal Sciences

Animal Studies is a liberal arts major for people hoping to build a career around animals. The curriculum touches on companion animals, wild species, farm stock and animals that do work, and it follows topics from handling methods to news affecting the animal industry. Because the major is interdisciplinary, students select a concentration that matches their goals and mix coursework from different fields. Ethical standards of professional practice and human and animal relationships are part of the discussion, and group work with like-minded classmates is common. After graduation students may go straight into a job working with animals or move on to graduate study. The college mentions roles such as zoologist and conservation officer. Faculty, learning outcomes and major course requirements are listed on the program page. Wilson College is a private institution in Pennsylvania, and prospective students can request information, arrange a visit or begin an application through the admissions team.
