Online Anthrozoology Degree :: Accredited Universities

The MA in Anthrozoology at the University of Exeter is unique in its anthropological focus on the many and varied ways in which humans perceive, engage, compete and co-exist with non-human animals in a range of cultural contexts. An understanding of human interactions with other animals is of paramount importance in the contemporary world where human lives and sustainable futures are inextricably linked with the fate of the nonhuman world.

This Distance-Learning MA covers a diverse range of themes, including pet-keeping, animal domestication, environmental conservation, eating animals, animal assisted therapy, zoonotic disease, cruelty to animals, representations of animals and animal welfare. These topics are subjected to rigorous theoretical analysis, and the anthropological approach facilitates cross-cultural comparison of seemingly contradictory attitudes and practices. The MA has won a Humane Society of the United States Distinguished Course Award and the Programme Director is the winner of the Association of Social Anthropologists' Award for Excellence 2011 and has recently published a core textbook on Anthrozoology.
