Virtual Alumni Panel: M.S. in Animals and Public Policy Program

The M.S. in Animals and Public Policy (MAPP) program focuses on human-animal relationships and their implications for policy and community action. While students enter the program with different interests, skills, philosophies, and aspirations, all share a passion for understanding human-animal relationships and promoting the status of animals in society.

MAPP graduates are well-positioned to advance careers in animal-related fields by continuing with graduate or professional education or securing jobs right after graduation, such as:

• Hold leadership positions in animal shelters and animal protection, conservation, and environmental advocacy organizations
• Practice as clinical veterinarians, applied animal behaviorists, and animal law attorneys
• Serve in government and as animal research compliance officers
• Conduct research and educate students and the public about human-animal relationships
