What can a high school student interested in primatology do to prepare for college (extracurricular activities, volunteer, etc.)?
No matter what future career you hope to have, a strong college preparatory schedule in high school will help you prepare for university-level classes. For a field like primatology where a background in biological sciences is crucial, it is important to build a solid foundation in math and science at the high school level. English, speech, and foreign language courses are important in building the communication skills needed in primatology. Students should also become computer literate before entering college. Extracurricular activities and volunteer experience play an important role in the college admission process. If you are interested in activities related to primatology, you can contact your local zoo to see what opportunities are available for high school students. You can also search the International Directory of Primatology for primate facilities in your area that may have volunteer positions. Primate-Jobs also lists volunteer positions.
