What major should I choose in college if I am interested in going to graduate school in primatology or interested in a primatology career?
Primatologists come from a wide variety of educational backgrounds, depending on the area of the field in which they work. Some common undergraduate degrees for primatologists include anthropology, zoology/biology, psychology, and veterinary medicine. The major you select should provide the background you will need to pursue your particular area of interest in the field. For example, if you are interested in behavioral studies, psychology might be an appropriate major, while if you want to care for primates in a zoo or research center, you might pick a degree in veterinary medicine. Primate Info Net offers several resources for helping you choose the best major for your interests. You can read testimonials written by primatologists working in various areas of the field to see what academic backgrounds are common for that area of primatology (What Is A Primatologist?). You can also periodically check the job postings on Primate-Jobs. Most postings list the qualifications for the positio
