Department of Animal Behavior
At Bucknell, you’ll get up close and personal with the creatures you study, empowering you to make the next great breakthrough.
In our animal behavior major, which combines biology and psychology, you can pursue your own research alongside our teacher-scholar faculty and even accompany your professor on a field study of migratory birds in Alaska or endangered chimpanzees in East Africa.
Graduate study in animal behavior is intended primarily for those who hope to later earn a Ph.D. or wish to amplify their expertise in animal-related careers, such as laboratory research, field research or conservation biology.
