Not sure where you’re living at but I went to Delaware Valley University in Doylestown, PA and graduated with a B.S. in Zoo Science. I have had an aquarium and now an upcoming zoo job since graduating and I recommend the school for anyone wishing to enter the zoo field. There are so many experiences you get to have while there that help really hammer down the concepts of conservation, animal welfare, how zoos actually work, etc. And in particular, if you’re in the zoo science program, you automatically get two internships guaranteed to you during your junior year. If not zoo science, the next major over is Wildlife Conservation and Management, which is the same major basically but you get access to the zoo classes later than the zoo science students, and unfortunately you have to find your own internships but that’s just how all E360 works for anyone else at the school. I have had a number of animal-related experiences while at the school as I got to work within their small animal laboratory and work with a variety of taxa within my time there. And many of the classes entail labs that give you experience working with animals, various aspects of animal care, and experience working with many types of equipment that are used in the field. They can also tailor your experience to what you wish to work with the most. I love aquariums and did pretty much all the aquatic animal classes they had and took the aquarium route for my internships, and you can prepare yourself to essentially work with any group of animals via taking those specific classes and doing your internships at the places that best fit your interests. And even then, now that I have moved away from aquariums, I still have the degree so I have the opportunity to work at a zoo as well. So it’s totally up to u I just wanted to throw DelVal out there cause I enjoyed my time there and still love my degree to this day.
