Are you interested in conserving and protecting endangered species or learning how to manage, breed and care for exotic animals? Are you preparing for a career in the exciting field of zoo and aquarium science? If so, DelVal has just the major for you!

The Zoo Science program at Delaware Valley College combines outstanding classroom instruction with hands-on internships and laboratories at a public zoo fully accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association. While many colleges offer degrees in Zoology, the general study of animal life, Delaware Valley College is one of only two institutions in the nation to offer a four-year program in Zoo Science. Our Zoo Science curriculum — unlike Zoology programs — specifically prepares students for careers in zoo management and animal conservation.
