What animal-focused programs does Canisius offer?
Canisius College offers two separate academic minors that focus on animals: Animal Behavior and Zoo Biology. (At Canisius, “minors” are mini concentrations of five to seven courses focused on a single theme.) The zoo biology program is administered by the Biology Department and the animal behavior program is administered by the Psychology Department. While most students interested in animals pursue degrees in biology or psychology, either minor is open to students of any major. It is just as common for biology majors to pursue the animal behavior minor and for psychology majors to pursue the zoo biology minor as it is the other way around. In fact, one need not even be in either of those two majors. Recently, a student graduated with an English major and the animal behavior minor.
