Our Academic Programs
Applied science is the discipline dealing with the art or science of applying scientific knowledge to practical problems. Our graduates are poised to take on the toughest challenges, develop and implement solutions to problems and, in doing so, can help to make the world a better place. ACAS academic programs are robust, unique and constantly evolving. Our new graduate programs in Companion Animal Behavior Counseling and Animal Shelter Management are designed to produce confident professionals with the knowledge and skills to make a difference in the lives of companion animals and the communities in which they live. Our undergraduate program in companion animal sciences is unique and specific in its subject matter, relating only to dogs, cats, birds, horses and other companion animals, rather than all animals. Our career diploma program entitled Canine Behavior Specialist will allow students to complete this technician-level career program in around a year. Upon successful completion of mentored supervision by a member of the Board of Professional Certification, graduates are eligible for different levels of professional certification with the internationally-recognized Association of Companion Animal Behavior Counselors.
