Mid Coast Today

Peyton, recently took the Animal Training & Care course at Unity College with Professor Kristyn Vitale.

"Before applying and receiving acceptance from Unity College, I was working full-time as a hairstylist. Reading as many books as possible about Animal Science to ensure my Border Collie puppy lived the healthiest as well as the longest life possible. I was not looking to go back to school or for a career change, however, I loved learning more about animal nutrition and behavior.

I started to research careers in these fields and found that Unity offered a concentration degree in both areas. I live in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. After researching Animal Science, I decided to look for colleges that offered online degrees and found Unity. I was especially interested that Unity College is an Environmental College and incorporates that niche in every aspect.

I am majoring in Biomedical Animal Science with a concentration in Animal Nutrition and Behavior. Once I earn my undergraduate degree, I plan to apply to graduate school. Upon acceptance, I plan to further my education to be a part of the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS). This will allow me to take the board exam for the highest credentials in nutrition as well as behavior. I sincerely enjoyed every aspect of Animal Training and Care, especially learning the foundations of animal behavior, ethics, and care."
