Zoo & Exotic Animals Overview

The Animal Science department currently has an informal agreement with Moorpark College's Exotic Animal Training and Management Program. This allows Moorpark students to participate in Moorpark's program their first two years and upon being admitted to Cal Poly, complete the remainder of their bachelor's degree at Cal Poly. Currently Cal Poly students are able to create a career elective area that would allow them to study zoo and exotic animals. For more information contact Dr. Plummer.
