Veterinary school is not the only career path that allows you to work with animals. By providing a combination of coursework and experiential learning, the <strong>Professional Science Master\u2019s (PSM) program in Zoo, Aquarium, and Animal Shelter Management <\/strong>prepares students for an applied career with animal organizations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our vision is to provide future leaders in animal welfare and conservation with the professional skills they need to amplify their influence within animal organizations. This highly flexible and mobile degree is responsive to the needs of our environment and our communities. We collaborate within and across professional animal organizations that represent the leading edge of animal welfare and conservation. In addition to fostering an inclusive environment that enables curious, creative, and courageous minds, we work independently and collaboratively to pursue answers, challenge assumptions, and exercise ethical responsibility within this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With an emphasis on hands-on learning, PSM students gain the necessary skills to lead an organization with animals in a variety of capacities. Although the name of the program lists our main areas of study (zoo, aquarium, and animal shelter), there are diverse experiential and career options available to explore throughout the program and into the field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current job titles of recent graduates include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Executive Director<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Development Director<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Behavior &amp; Enrichment Manager<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Animal Shelter Manager<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conservation Engagement Programs Manager<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manager of Humane Education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Guest Services Manager<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Animal Trainer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Education Programs Manager<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Community Engagement Coordinator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keepers in elephants, sea lions, primates, and hoof stock<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And more!&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you have a calling to work with animals?

week&#039;s #FollowingCapstoneFriday, we&#039;re traveling to Madagascar to check in with Sydney Jacobs! Her capstone project, &quot;Growing up Edwarsi&quot;, is analyzing if there are any behavioral or developmental differences between male and female infants of the Milne-Edwards&#039; Sifaka (Propithecus edwarsi).\n\nSydney is conducting her project at Centre ValBio, a research center nestled in the rainforest of Ranomafana National Park. She is working under Dr. Patricia C. Wright, an acclaimed primatologist and the Founder and Executive Director of Centre ValBio.\n\nA typical day for Sydney starts by hiking out into the rainforest, finding her designated study group of sifakas, and following them around all day. Every 5 minutes, she takes behavioral data utilizing instantaneous focal sampling.\n\nCentre ValBio is dedicated to the conservation of Madagascar&#039;s unique, extremely biodiverse, and highly endemic ecosystems. They work closely with local communities to protect biodiversity while improving livelihoods. The centre harnesses cutting-edge conservation science to expand scientific knowledge and ensure Madagascar&#039;s heritage is protected for generations to come!\n\n#csupsm #followingpsmfriday #psmzaasm\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition\" role=\"listitem\"\n\tid=\"sbi_18004124570767881\" data-date=\"1784311870\">\n\t<div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\n\t\t<a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Da51B70FHbi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"\n\t\t\tdata-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.82787-15\/747573067_18331566283281397_6855032461442274102_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&#038;_nc_cat=105&#038;ccb=7-5&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&#038;_nc_ohc=z-kokL1ZQy8Q7kNvwGVSKmg&#038;_nc_oc=AdrP3uGzO2_aWCDGf6qrHf5avw-YlT0qKbJPTJPR6DxQ96IrWZX0gWrEIeuZX4CRGPA&#038;_nc_zt=23&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;_nc_gid=jhg6rspMEvdOdZksQ82Now&#038;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQIb9THIbuhHwi7R6pCmsepJ42wX6mdzRUkB_8dn0BFikrdqum2O2wS5AKaFxS2AIAyUscnb62GJFw&#038;oh=00_AQHv96CLvjPtoyJnzt9Q3QZDJ6eIR7Bn-94odffbbwMQFA&#038;oe=6A8F55D0\"\n\t\t\tdata-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/747573067_18331566283281397_6855032461442274102_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=z-kokL1ZQy8Q7kNvwGVSKmg&amp;_nc_oc=AdrP3uGzO2_aWCDGf6qrHf5avw-YlT0qKbJPTJPR6DxQ96IrWZX0gWrEIeuZX4CRGPA&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=jhg6rspMEvdOdZksQ82Now&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQIb9THIbuhHwi7R6pCmsepJ42wX6mdzRUkB_8dn0BFikrdqum2O2wS5AKaFxS2AIAyUscnb62GJFw&amp;oh=00_AQHv96CLvjPtoyJnzt9Q3QZDJ6eIR7Bn-94odffbbwMQFA&amp;oe=6A8F55D0&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/747573067_18331566283281397_6855032461442274102_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=z-kokL1ZQy8Q7kNvwGVSKmg&amp;_nc_oc=AdrP3uGzO2_aWCDGf6qrHf5avw-YlT0qKbJPTJPR6DxQ96IrWZX0gWrEIeuZX4CRGPA&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=jhg6rspMEvdOdZksQ82Now&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQIb9THIbuhHwi7R6pCmsepJ42wX6mdzRUkB_8dn0BFikrdqum2O2wS5AKaFxS2AIAyUscnb62GJFw&amp;oh=00_AQHv96CLvjPtoyJnzt9Q3QZDJ6eIR7Bn-94odffbbwMQFA&amp;oe=6A8F55D0&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/747573067_18331566283281397_6855032461442274102_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=z-kokL1ZQy8Q7kNvwGVSKmg&amp;_nc_oc=AdrP3uGzO2_aWCDGf6qrHf5avw-YlT0qKbJPTJPR6DxQ96IrWZX0gWrEIeuZX4CRGPA&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=jhg6rspMEvdOdZksQ82Now&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQIb9THIbuhHwi7R6pCmsepJ42wX6mdzRUkB_8dn0BFikrdqum2O2wS5AKaFxS2AIAyUscnb62GJFw&amp;oh=00_AQHv96CLvjPtoyJnzt9Q3QZDJ6eIR7Bn-94odffbbwMQFA&amp;oe=6A8F55D0&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t51.82787-15\\\/747573067_18331566283281397_6855032461442274102_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=7-5&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&amp;_nc_ohc=z-kokL1ZQy8Q7kNvwGVSKmg&amp;_nc_oc=AdrP3uGzO2_aWCDGf6qrHf5avw-YlT0qKbJPTJPR6DxQ96IrWZX0gWrEIeuZX4CRGPA&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&amp;_nc_gid=jhg6rspMEvdOdZksQ82Now&amp;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQIb9THIbuhHwi7R6pCmsepJ42wX6mdzRUkB_8dn0BFikrdqum2O2wS5AKaFxS2AIAyUscnb62GJFw&amp;oh=00_AQHv96CLvjPtoyJnzt9Q3QZDJ6eIR7Bn-94odffbbwMQFA&amp;oe=6A8F55D0&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sbi-screenreader\">ave you been looking for a way to earn a master\u2019s<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/psm-zaasmgmt.colostate.edu\/wp-content\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"ave you been looking for a way to earn a master\u2019s while working?

Her capstone project, &quot;Prey on Display&quot;, is analyzing if carcass type and presentation has an effect on the behavioral diversity of African Painted Dogs (Lycaon pictus).\n\nIzzy is conducting her project at ZooTampa in Florida under the tutelage of Kelly Trotto, the Curator of Behavioral Husbandry, and Sue Pasquine, the Curator of Animal Behavior and Enrichment.\n\nA typical day for Izzy consists of assisting with the design and creation of enrichment for the animal care teams, including filling out enrichment logs. She supports the evaluation and improvement of behavioral management and conducts welfare assessments across the Zoo. Izzy also assists with animal husbandry and any other tasks required for the Zoo&#039;s day to day operations!\n\nZooTampa is proud to participate in the Species Survival Plan (SSP), a collaborative initiative among zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) to manage the populations of hundreds of species. They have had 54 animal babies born since January 2026, with more on the way! These births are crucial in supporting the SSP and all of the incredible animals that call ZooTampa home!\n\n #csupsm #followingpsmfriday #psmzaasm\"
