Careers in animal behavior are typically in academics, combining teaching and research at a university or college, and require post-graduate studies. The Canisius College Animal Behavior program provides an excellent background for students who want to pursue an advanced degree or attend veterinary school.
There are also opportunities, for employment immediately after graduation. Animal behavior minors find work in zoos and aquariums as animal keepers and trainers. Other opportunities exist in laboratory animal care, wildlife conservation, nature education, and the pet industry.
