Prospective Students

Real World Opportunities

The Animal Biology major provides students with a core biological science background which gives students the opportunity to pursue a wide variety of career paths. Many of our students continue their studies in professional schools (veterinary medicine, medical, dental, etc.) or graduate programs (animal behavior, ecology, etc.). However, we also have students who choose to go directly into the work force, a path that holds numerous opportunities. Graduates may conduct research in a lab, work for state or government agencies (such as the Department of Fish and Game or Fish and Wildlife Services), or pursue a career in environmental sciences or animal-related field such as zoo keeping.
