Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Animal Behavior] From Bucknell University

As an animal behavior major, you will work up close and personal with their subjects and often have opportunities to conduct research and work on articles published in peer-reviewed journals.

Students in the Animal Behavior Program at Bucknell have the opportunity to conduct research with professors in and out of the classroom, through group and independent research projects. Several animal colonies are housed at Bucknell.  Students also have opportunities to conduct fieldwork in a variety of settings off campus.

The Bucknell facilities feature four groups of primates, social insect colonies, rats, mice, hamsters, and bats. The research interests of faculty members focus on the topics of ecology, evolution and development of social behavior, brain physiology, sensory systems, plant and animal interaction, behavioral endocrinology, social and environmental regulation, marine environments, limnology, vertebrate anatomy, animal learning, genetics, and experimental design and statistics.
