My kid went to Bucknell for animal behavior and it was excellent.

Mississippi State and they give great merit aid.

Cornell might be a reach.

U of MD?

Dickinson College has a farm, but I don't know about animal science classes.

Does she want large or small, they provide very different experiences.

I agree with NC State, def. for Animal Science. I was there in the 1990s. one of my roommates was an animal science major. Animal science has 3 concentrations (Industry, Science, and Veterinary Bioscience). My roommate was in the Vet option.

I don't know much about their Environmental Science major, but they do have one.

Don't expect any University-wide merit, but the college (College of Ag & Life Science) may have some awards your DC qualifies for.

PP again. Animal Science will be an easier admit than Engineering. Don't think your DC has to be 75% and higher on their stats.

+1 Came on here to say, UC Davis!

Also, not sure about the OOS admit rates, but Cal Poly San Luis Obsipo (Cal Poly SLO) for sure. Possibly Cal Poly Pomona although I haven't checked that one out, and SLO is a nicer place to be.

One of my regrets is not following a path like this (I didn't know anything when I was a teen, though). One of my minor bummers as a mom is none of my kids are interested in this.

Same same same - how I wish I could go back in time and major in animal science.

Cansius in Buffalo has an interesting animal program: https://www.canisius.edu/academics/programs/undergraduate/animal-behavior-ecology-conservation

If your kid is interested in animal sheltering, Arizona State is doing groundbreaking research: https://psychology.asu.edu/research/labs/canine-science-collaboratory

Barnard has the Dog Cognition Lab: https://dogcognition.weebly.com/

So many of us like this on this thread! I'm now and environmental lawyer but wish I'd studied something like OP's post instead

Franklin & Marshall has some kind of animal behavior specialty, I think. Check it out. We toured there, I thought it was really cute.

I know that Duke has some puppy lab (so doing dog studies); if you google, it will come up

That is a psych major. Different than animal science (which usually focuses on farm animals)
