Madonna University announced a new major in Animal Studies that will launch in the 2021-22 school year. The major at the Catholic university “will equip students with fundamental knowledge of zoology and animal behavior,” according to the university news release. The Michigan university’s program “will provide not only a solid foundation in biological sciences, but also broad knowledge of animal ethics, law and policies, and religious views.” “Our program is unique in terms of course offerings and long-standing community partnerships with animal-related agencies,” program director Andrew Domzalski told The College Fix in an email. Domzalski’s background is diverse, as he teaches classes in “Animal Studies, Eastern Religions, and graduate courses in linguistics,” according to his bio on the major’s website.
