Question
Dear Dr. Connor,

You are doing exactly what I'd like to do for a living.  I noticed you received your PhD from UC Berkley.  What field is your PhD in - Psychology, Zoology, etc?  How did you get started in your career?  Thank you in advance for your time and input.

Sincerely, Melanie Bemel

Answer
My doctorate is in Experimental Psychology.  There are now postgraduate programs available in Animal Behavior.  I suggest you locate universities offering this program, find out what requirements (academic and otherwise) they have for invitation, and investigate undergraduate programs across the country that support those requirements.
