The Program in Animal Behavior (ABEH) encourages students to look at questions of brain, environment, and behavior from several disciplinary perspectives in order to encourage a fuller understanding of the factors influencing and constraining behavior.
The undergraduate minor will help students interested in animal behavior develop a background in ethnology, evolution, learning, and neuroscience; provide students with the language they need to transcend the boundaries of a single discipline; and give students an early opportunity to reflect on the consequences of different intellectual approaches to a single problem. Such students will be better prepared to join a scientific community that is just beginning to synthesize traditional research approaches in order to achieve a better understanding of behavior as an interface between genes and the environment, as well as a clearer conception of the relationships among brain, behavior, and evolution.
