How to transfer into the anthrozoology program

If you are thinking about transferring into Carroll’s anthrozoology program, consider transferring after your first year in college so you can complete your degree in four years. It takes three years to complete the course requirements for the major due to the sequencing of the required courses.

All students need a minimum of 122 semester credits to obtain a bachelor’s degree from Carroll. The maximum number of lower division credits you can transfer to Carroll is 60 semester credits/90 quarter credits.

Suggested Prerequisites (Carroll course equivalents in parentheses)

  • OR Biological Principles I (BI 171) with a lab component (pre-professional track*)

The Anthrozoology program helped to get me an internship at ZooMontana in the summer 2023 which allowed me to get real-life hands-on experience with wildlife that has helped build my passion for a career in which I can help wildlife and have connections with both animals and humans. From this, and many other hands-on experiences with canines and equines, I will forever be thankful for a program that allows me to learn in my best environment, where I can learn hands-on and experience opportunities.
