Behavioral ecology and animal behavior are two very different fields.

Behavioral ecology is: Examination of the ways that modern industrial society has dysfunctionally organized its lifeways from agriculture to technology to economics, etc. combined with a visionary exploration of alternative ways of organizing society which is more ecologically sustainable and socially just.

Assuming this is NOT what you are looking for, here are some schools that offer a major in “Animal Science” or “Animal Behavior”, which is what the colleges call it.

Hampshire College in Amherst, MA

Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA

Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO

These are just a few of the hundreds of schools that offer either Animal Science or Animal Behavior. But remember, there is a lot more to choosing a school than just scores. There are a lot of important factors to consider, such as:

Do you want to be in a big city or a more rural environment?

Do you prefer a school with a very large population or a smaller, more personable school?

How selective are the schools you are checking out? (how many students are applying vs. how many are accepted — what is the minimum SAT score they will accept — what is the minimal GPA they will accept, and what range are most of their students in)

How expensive?

What type of endowments are available? Scholarships? What percentage of students are getting scholarships?

Is the school known for its academics or its party atmosphere?

Is it a liberal or conservative environment?

What do the students say they like/don’t like about the school?

All these questions can be answered by looking at the following websites. But don’t choose just one, because if they don’t accept you, you’re stuck.

Pick two schools that are very selective “long shots”, two that are “maybe” schools, and two that are “sure things”. Apply to all of them. Wait. After a few months, the acceptance letters will arrive, and you will be able to make a great choice! Hope all this info helps to get you exactly where you want to be, with no regrets.

Best wishes to you!

A extra basic call for the sphere you asking approximately is “ethology”. reckoning on the college you flow to, an suited important would desire to be Biology, Zoology , or Animal Ecology (or alterations on those subject concerns). you would be able to desire to even inspect psychology. Psychologists tend to not look at animal habit interior the sphere – yet some do. For the faculties you’re thinking, inspect the training they provide in animal habit. bear in suggestions, an undergraduate degree continues to be a exceedingly time-honored degree & can’t permit for an excellent number of specialization (in spite of the undeniable fact that obtaining in contact in analyze will enable you to get some understanding interior the area). generally, you don’t get fairly terrific practise until graduate college.
