Anthrozoology, the study of human-animal interactions, is a growing, interdisciplinary field. It covers a wide range of research topics, such as attitudes toward animals, the \u201chuman-animal\u201d divide, animal behaviors\/cognitions\/abilities, wild-animal management\/conservation, the roles\/uses of animals within cultural contexts, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given the integrated and overlapping ways in which humans and non-human animals engage with each other in the world, the anthrozoology applied minor is a wonderful, additional credential if you have interests in this area. However, it is especially beneficial if you’re considering careers in veterinary medicine, animal-assisted therapy, farming or conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
