Graduate, post-baccalaureate, or undergraduate CWU students are eligible to enroll in the certificate program. Some certificate coursework can be used toward other degree requirements (consult with your advisor). Completion of the certificate will provide students with the skills and experiences listed by the International Primatological Society for Animal Technician*, and some skills and experiences listed for Senior Animal Technician*. This expertise may assist students in future job searches in captive primate care based at zoos, sanctuaries, and other captive settings.
