Primate Behavior
Undergraduate Students
Interdisciplinary program focused on non-human primate behavior, social structures and ecological interactions in both captive and free-ranging non-human primates.
Why study primatology at CWU?
Our students have a gone on to work in labs, zoos, captive facilities, environmental and conservation careers at various government and non-profit agencies. Alumni also continue their education by attending graduate programs in a variety of different disciplines due to the interdisciplinary nature of our unique program.
