动物行为

动物行为课程培养学生的批判性, 善于评估和整合信息的灵活思考者, and who use the scientific method to better understand proximate and ultimate drivers of behavior, 改善动物的生活和人类与动物的互动, 并保护物种.

The 动物行为 program realizes its mission through a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum, 注重职业准备和实习经验, and by challenging students with opportunities for undergraduate research both in and out of the classroom. 具体地说, the interdisciplinary curriculum is designed to build concept and skill mastery in the discipline of animal behavior and includes coursework in the fields of psychology (the student of behavior and mental processes) and biology (the study of the living world; including marine and environmental sciences), 在其他学科中. 到学生毕业的时候, they will know how to think like scientists and be able to effectively articulate focal animal behavior concepts in writing and in speech. Our students will 也 practice ethical and socially responsible professionalism that will see them through unpredictable career paths. 重要的是, the 动物行为 program will push students intellectually by providing opportunities for research in the classroom as well as outside of the classroom setting, and in doing so will create graduates who are career-ready but 也 professionally flexible; able to enter the workforce and pursue graduate education.

动物行为 is an interdisciplinary major with students taking courses in a variety of departments to gain an appreciation of the discipline from multiple perspectives. 动物行为学不仅是一门研究动物行为的科学，也是一门研究动物为什么这么做的科学. This major is designed for students who are interested in understanding why animals act the way they do on a proximate and ultimate level. 动物行为学专业可以在国家公园找到工作, 研究实验室, 兽医诊所, 动物收容所, 水族馆或动物园, 或学术界. 学生 who are planning on attending a graduate program in this field should be prepared not only to maintain an appropriately high GPA but 也 to conduct research in a laboratory on campus or at another institution.

动物行为计划的核心价值观反映了那些更大的大学社区. 我们特别强调以下价值观:

• 以学生为中心是我们所做的一切的基础
• 我们尊重各种形式的多样性，积极追求包容性的学术环境
• 作为地球的管家，我们认识到并努力保护生命的多样性
• 我们提倡和实践不懈的调查，因为我们寻求真理

**Three (3) 动物行为 electives are required if the 动物行为 internship is 3–4 credits. 如果实习是五(5)个或更多学分，那么只需要两(2)门选修课. Other courses may be applied as electives with the approval of the School of Social and Behavior 科学s director or assistant academic director.

这个专业的学生可以 参加卫生研究生院预备课程.

平均绩点2分.25分才能被批准增设动物行为学专业. Double majoring or majoring and Minoring within the 社会与行为科学学院 may be possible for a student. 然而, students interested in this option should do so with close consultation with their academic advisor to ensure that a substantial degree of overlap between the two areas does not occur.

A minimum grade of C- must be achieved in all courses used to fulfill the requirements for the 动物行为 major. 学生 must 也 complete the University Core mathematics requirement by the end of the first year. 该项目强烈建议学生在大二的时候选修PSY 225和PSY 285. 该计划要求在大三结束前完成PSY 225和PSY 285. 看到 本科生学术政策 也.

在完成动物行为学专业的学士学位后, 学生将能够

• 表现出批判性和综合性的思维能力
• 具备口头和书面形式的科学信息交流能力
• 展示动物行为中关键概念的知识
• Exhibit quantitative research skills (or demonstrate ability to perform all parts of the scientific method)
• 具有灵活的思维和将知识应用于新问题的能力

GPA不低于2分的学生.25 and a major at UNE may Minor in 动物行为 with the approval of the assistant academic director. 申报必须在大三第一学期结束前完成. Major programs of study with significant course overlap with animal behavior min或需求 may be disallowed by the academic director. 学生 declaring a Minor in animal behavior will be allowed to double-dip credits across the Minor and either major or core requirements (if no other options are provided by the major, Minor, 或核心需求). A minimum of eighteen (18) hours of approved course credit with a minimum grade of "C-" in each course is required for the Minor in 动物行为 as follows:

我们为符合条件的学生提供荣誉毕业的选择. 这包括重要的研究, 奖学金, 或者在老师的指导下进行创造性活动. 感兴趣的学生应该咨询他们的指导老师.
