Here are several links that you and her should take a look at.\n\nhttp://seaworld.org/career-resources/info-books/zoo-careers/index.htm\nhttp://www.aqua.org/marinescienceguide.html\nhttp://www.dolphins.org/Learn/Training%20career.pdf\n\nIt may surprise you to know that you can major is several different major(s) in order to become an animal trainer. I was actually going for psychology--another surprising major they mentioned was drama/theater--and that was in the SeaWorld book!\n\nHope those links helped you out--if you need anymore help please visit my profile page and contact me! I have so much information on becoming a dolphin trainer because I was pursuing that career as well. I have a list of books too that may be helpful. Just let me know.

Try Hunter College, if you are looking at a NY area.  It's a CUNY school but it's got good reputation.

Check your local yellow pages for FFA clubs, (Future Farmers of America), 4-H clubs, thoroughbred ranches, horse shows, county fairs, race tracks, and large animal vets.Then call them up and ask if they care for horses or know someone who does. Once you find out who does, call them up and ask if they would take volunteers or know someone who does. See if you can find someone who is willing to let your daughter volunteer.  If she impresses them with her willingness to work hard and do exactly what she is told she will gain more and more access. Don't give up. Sometimes all it takes to get started in any field is a dream and lots of persistence. If she is able to work things out so that she can meet and/or volunteer for a trainer by all means jump on it.\n\nOther things that will help: \n\n1) Biology classes\n2) Membership in ANY local club or charity, but \nespecially one with access to horses.\n3) ANY access to horses: friends, clubs, tracks, \nshows, farms, ranches, etc.\n4) A genuine desire to learn and work hard. \nAttitude and hard work counts for 90%.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nCalico.Kitty

I'm not really qualified to answer your question but I may be able to point you in the right direction. As to degrees, I'm thinking you'd want something in the biological sciences, perhaps a straight biology degree. I've also heard of smaller schools (usually junior colleges) offering an AA in something called Zoo Animal Technology, but I'm not exactly sure what that would qualify you for.\n\nYou might want to rephrase your question and post it under the sub-category 'Zoology' under the category 'Science & Mathematics.' Hope this helps!

Georgia Tech is supposed to be a good school for psychics. Virginia Tech too, but you'd almost have to take a vow of celibacy to go there.

Well, the idea of "best" depends on what you are looking for. UT Austin is clearly the most renowned of the two depts. It will be a big dept, very research focused, a number of classes taught by grad students, some very good opportunities to hear seminars by leading psychologists. San Antonio is likely to be smaller, more personal interaction, more classes taught by regular faculty.\n\nSo, the best depends on what you want. If you want best from the outside, UT Austin has it hands down. If you want best in terms of fit for your daughter, I don't think you can tell this until you and she have actually visited the schools and talked to students and sat in on classes and looked at what fits best for her.\n\nGood luck! A fun but scary time! Either way it will be a good education for her.

I've heard UCLA has a good program; one of the Marine Science Academy teachers at my old school took a program there. But also UC Santa Barbara, since it has the additional benefit of being right next to a beach. Also UC San Diego, I think.
