Curriculum
A student with GPA of at least 2.25 and a major at SWAGÊÓƵ may minor in Animal Behavior with the approval of the assistant academic director. Declarations must occur prior to the completion of the first semester of the junior year. Major programs of study with significant course overlap with animal behavior minor requirements may be disallowed by the academic director.
