Bachelor degrees in Animal Behavior and Ethology: A program that focuses on the scientific study of the psychological and neurological bases of animal sensation, perception, cognition, behavior, and behavioral interactions within and outside the species. Includes instruction in ethology, behavioral neuroscience, neurobiology, behavioral evolution, cognition and sensory perception, motivators, learning and instinct, hormonal controls, reproductive and developmental biology, community ecology, functional behavior, and applications to specific behaviors and patterns as well as to specific phyla and species.
The Bachelor of Science Biology is designed to give students excellent preparation for graduate study or professional careers in the life sciences. All students have opportunities to develop excellent research skills beginning in the core courses and culminating in the capstone research project.
The Animal Behavior Emphasis in Bachelor of Science Biology
The goal of this program is to provide an integrated approach to understanding animal behavior. Program objectives include an understanding of behavior from psychological, physical, evolutionary, and biological approaches. The faculty of the Departments of Biology, Psychology, and Biological Anthropology and Anatomy provide the opportunity for concentrating on a topic which has become too diverse for one perspective or discipline.
There are many colleges and universities where students can learn about animal behavior, but very few like Franklin & Marshall provide opportunities in the Animal behavior major of the Biological Foundations of Behavior program for undergraduates to work directly in the laboratory, field, zoos and other countries with many animal species including not only aquatic invertebrates, fish, mammals and birds but also capuchin and squirrel monkeys.
