The Anthrozoology program is conducted in a modified online format. As a student, you will come together with faculty at the beginning of each semester for a four-day series of meetings and workshops. You then return home, where coursework is completed online through rigorous discussion and detailed study, guided by the top professors in each respective field. Major emphasis in the program is given to blending knowledge from three foundational areas:

1.   Natural science approaches to understanding our fellow living beings
2.   Social science methods for investigating human-animal interactions
3.   Humanities-based strategies that illuminate human-animal relationships from ethical, political, and cultural points of view
