How long do you have to go to college to become an animal rescuer?

Answer 1

An entry level position at a zoo requires a bachelor's degree in one of the following animal science, zoology, conservation Biology, wildlife management, animal behaviour which takes 3-4 years of university to complete. If your looking into caring for marine animals you will need a bachelor's degree in animal science, biology, marine biology, zoology, pyschology, plus have strong swimming skills and a Scuba certification, which is 3-4 years of university.

Chance of advancement is possible but rather limited. Being a zookeeper is not a glamorous, or even a high paying job. Zookeepers with limited education and experience start at minimum wage. A median salary for zookeeper is about $14 per hour or $28,00 a year. The top zookeepers can make more than $40,000 with benefits. You should have a love of animals.

Answer 2

At least long enough to learn that you don't put "an" before the word "zoologist". I'd say like 3 years, yeah that sounds about right.

at the minimum two.

first you study a first diploma in animal care. this takes a year.

then you study a national diploma in animal management.

after that you are free to go study zoology and become a zoologist

Answer 3

Technically you could probably obtain a Bachelors degree in Zoology in 3 or 4 years depending on your program. However, to work as a modern Zoologist you are best to have a Masters or better yet a Doctorate in Zoology, which would take you an addition 2-3 years. I would say on average, it would take about 7 years to become a working, respected Zoologist.

Answer 4

There is no specific college degree required to become an animal rescuer. However, most animal rescuers have some college education, often in fields such as animal science, veterinary medicine, or biology. The length of time it takes to complete these programs can vary from 2-8 years depending on the specific degree obtained.
