What should my majors be if I am interested in being an animal psychologist?

Question

What are some of the best colleges for this type of career?

Answer 1

Consider studying behavior analysis if possible. Some psychology departments offer behavior analysis focuses for undergraduates. The University of North Texas offers a bachelor of science degree in behavior analysis.

If that is not possible, consider studying zoology or biology as an undergraduate and then coming to the University of North Texas to get a Master of Science in behavior analysis. There are other schools that offer a master's in psychology with an emphasis on behavior analysis.

The University of North Texas is in the process of developing an online and an on-campus certificate program for animal trainers through the behavior analysis program.

Other universities to consider include:

Answer 2

Zoologists are scientists concerned with the study of animals, their anatomy, physiology, ecology, evolution and embryology. They work in many different roles. Environmental zoologists and conservationists, for example, are responsible for protecting, managing and enhancing the wildlife in a particular area. There may be opportunities to work in field surveying, conducting scientific surveys of natural habitats and identifying, recording and monitoring animal species. Particularly research posts in universities, a postgraduate qualification - either an MSc or PhD - is required. Entry to a postgraduate course is normally with a good first degree. Animal Psychologist and scientists do not always agree on what should be considered Comparative Psychology., They understand thier intern feelings and could speak with them. After completing Post Graduation in Animal Psychology, Need to do Ph.D in some zoological university. It would take 4 years. And Could learn many wonderful things in the research.
