AWCP 171

Advanced Animal Welfare 3 credits

This course is directed at the more experienced employees of an animal care facility or at students with an extensive background in animal care. The emphasis is more on management techniques (fundraising, managing volunteers, managing employees). Animal and human-animal relations are investigated in more depth with an emphasis on activities outside the animal care facility (abuse investigations, injured domestic and wild animals, public education). Students with experience in these areas could proceed directly to AWCP 171 without taking AWCP 170. The modules in this course include Animal Care, Legal Issues, Human Conflict Resolution, Business Management, Humane Education, Managing Volunteers, Fundraising and Safety in the Workplace.
