The College of Arts & Sciences is introducing two new academic programs for the fall 2023 semester. Undergraduate students will now be able to earn a bachelor of arts degree in anthrozoology. Graduate students can pursue a master of arts degree in informal education and interpretation.
Undergraduate students who pursue a bachelor of arts degree in anthrozoology receive a broad education in the social sciences and explore the historical, cultural and ethical relationships between humans and non-human animals. The interdisciplinary curriculum emphasizes practical, real-world skills and research development.
The college’s new master of arts degree in informal education and interpretation is a unique program for graduate students who seek employment in education outside the formal K-12 system, and instead in areas such as environmental education, historical preservation or museum curation. Key coursework includes foundations of informal and non-formal education; natural, cultural and historical interpretation; non-profit leadership; research methods; and grant writing. The program culminates with a research-based or internship capstone experience.
