Our track in animal informatics is the first dedicated program of its kind in the world. The program will help students use technology to better understand animal behavior and develop tools to improve the health, well-being, and quality of life for animals and professionals working in the commercial pet industries, captive animal management (e.g., zoos, aquariums, livestock), animal welfare organizations, assistive and therapeutic support animal programs, veterinary medicine, wildlife conservation, and the cognitive, biological, and evolutionary sciences.

This professional track, part of our M.S. in Informatics, will teach the technical skills needed to innovate and incorporate animal-computer interaction, data science, artificial intelligence, and virtual and augmented reality technology into work with animals. Our graduates will be able to apply their skills on behalf of animal populations and interspecies relationships, whether in the wild, in zoos, on farms, in shelters, in research labs, or in our homes.
