Specialization may be in one of three areas: ethology and the evolutionary bases of animal behavior; the physiological bases of animal behavior; or applied animal behavior (of domestic or wild animals). All specializations emphasize the adaptive and evolutionary bases of animal behavior. In addition, the integrative track allows combinations from any of the three main areas. The program trains students for teaching and research in a variety of areas including animal science, ecology, biological anthropology, physiology, psychology, veterinary science, wildlife biology, and zoology.

While an M.S. degree may be obtained while pursuing a Ph.D. degree, only Ph.D. applications will be accepted.

This program is an interdisciplinary Graduate Group.
