What classes should I take in high school for a career in ethology (the study of animal behavior)?

Next year I’m doubling up on my science classes, and I wasn’t sure what I should take besides chemistry. Physiology (which I could easily take the year after) or environmental science? Would environmental science be useful for ethology?

Answer #1

If your school offers any FFA classes, they will definately be helpful. Also, you could go to the college that you are going to attend and see if they can set you up with one of the proffesors.

Answer #2

Yes, environmental science would definitely be useful; I would even say preferable in some ways. I believe high school physiology would be in human physiology, with limited relevance to other animals. Environmental science will (or should) encompass animals of all kinds, as well as giving you a broader view of what kinds of factors contribute to shaping their behavior. It may also help you begin to determine which classifications (phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species) are of greatest interest to you.
