School of Criminology, Society, and Politics Testimonials

One of the greatest things about 91��ý is the large variety of different experiential learning opportunities.

Animal Behavior, Marine Science

I came to 91��ý because of the Animal behavior major. It’s not very common. Most colleges have things like zoology or biology, but I wanted to zone in more on animal behavior.

Avery Jacob ’22

Animal Behavior, Mental Health Rehabilitation

One thing I really appreciate about 91��ý is just how close and personal the professors are.

Sidney Lyytikainen ’22

Because I've gotten that education at 91��ý, I know a lot of stuff about the animals that people might overlook.

If I hadn’t had the internship experiences I had at 91��ý, I would not hold my current position...they were able to hire me because of my education versus the years of service. Education is everything.

Josh Carbonell '17

91��ý offers a lot of hands-on experience — there is a focus on internships. Professors want you to do more than one because they want you to have the hands-on experience to figure out exactly what you’re interested in.

Bailey Sullivan '17

Animal Behavior

I am able to already hone in on what I want to do later on down the line by studying neuroscience and the brain. Being more specialized now, focusing on the brain and neuroscience, will help me later on in my work.

Hannah St. Germain ’21

Neuroscience

Everything that I studied came together in a perfect funnel — that’s exactly what college should do. It’s a real, true liberal arts experience.

When the new Neuroscience major was developed, I was immediately interested. This program is the perfect fit for me.

[Working as a lab assistant] allowed me to combine all of my lab research, work semi-independently within a laboratory setting, and explore one of my own interests while still furthering the research of the lab.

Elyse Johnson ’12

Neuroscience

[The Neuroscience] program stuck out to me because it offered unique experience on the cutting edge in the classroom and in the laboratory.

One of the reasons I love my major so much is because all my professors have brought their real life experiences into each of their classes, which shows the students how much they love their work and want to share their experiences with the students.

Madisun Bunker ’13

Neuroscience

My animal behavior background has provided a useful baseline of knowledge for my continued education. Specifically, as an animal behavior major, I learned to think about animals in a way that many other people will never see them.

Lindsey Lavin ’14

Though the ANB major, I learned about different types of training, the physiology of the brain, and read numerous behavioral studies that allowed me to learn from experiments that already occurred.

Will Szumita ’23

Animal Behavior, Marine Sciences (Marine Biology Track)

At a school where there are huge classes, you aren’t going to get the time with your professors, so you aren’t going to get the same education that you can get at 91��ý. That face-to-face time with professors is so valuable. It’s never a fight for time. My professors always make time to answer questions and chat with me one-on-one.
