F&M’s Vivarium is a non-invasive behavioral facility that houses a variety of rodents, reptiles, birds, fish, invertebrates, and nonhuman primates that supports student-focused learning and scientific research. Students from a wide diversity of backgrounds work with Animal Behavior Studies faculty and Vivarium staff to gain hands-on experience within the fields of positive reinforcement training, welfare and enrichment, best-practice animal caretaking, and behavioral observations and research. Our nonhuman primate research centers on behavior and cognition. We are one of the only institutions in the United States offering direct access of onsite, nonhuman primates to undergraduate students through an established program built around primate training, enrichment, behavioral research, and animal caretaking. In fact, we have an Animal Husbandry & Primate Training Certificate that includes formal academic training designed to develop students’ abilities to professionally train and care for animals. Over 150 students per year work in the F&M Vivarium for course credit, as paid researchers, student employees, or as volunteers throughout the academic year and summer.
