King (Psychological and Brain Sciences) Program E-mailProgram URLIntroductionThe Program in Animal Behavior (ABEH) encourages students to explore the many different ways in which scientists aim to understand the physiological, environmental, and evolutionary factors influencing and constraining animal behavior. The undergraduate minor emphasizes courses needed to develop a background in the different disciplines that study animal behavior, providing students with the language they need to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries and to reflect on the consequences of different intellectual approaches to a single problem. To complete the minor, students take courses in evolutionary biology, neural sciences, learning, and more. They also have the opportunity to engage in their own independent research and to conduct applied internships in which they apply their newly learned knowledge to practical problems in zoos, museums, and veterinary contexts. Undergraduate Minor in Integrative Study of Animal BehaviorRequirementsStudents must complete six courses (minimum of 17 credit hours; most course choices will result in more than 17 credit hours).
Undergraduate Area Certificate in Animal BehaviorA student may earn an area certificate as part of completing the bachelor's degree and in addition to completing requirements for a major. Students may be awarded either the minor or the area certificate in Animal Behavior. In order to complete the area certificate, the student must complete the following in addition to the requirements for the minor:
Course DescriptionA495 Animal Behavior Internship (1-6 cr.) P: Consent of department. Hands-on animal behavior research experience in practical situations. Interns are matched with faculty mentors and internship sites. Students combine research with practical service to the host organization. May be taken or repeated for a maximum of 6 credit hours.
