Both programs were initially proposed as part of the Eckerd College Strategic Plan in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been an amazing semester here at Eckerd College,\u201d said Vice President for Academic Affairs and <a href=\"\/dean-of-faculty\/\">Dean of Faculty Suzan Harrison<\/a>. \u201cIn one semester, we\u2019ve approved a new major and new minor, and that is a sign of a really creative, really vibrant, really energetic faculty. It\u2019s just amazing to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Animal studies, elsewhere known as anthrozoology, is an interdisciplinary major that draws from the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities to trace the history and consequences of human relationships to animals. The major will require five new courses (Intro to Animal Studies, Animal Behavior, Animal Studies Statistical Methods, Internship in Animal Studies and a Capstone Seminar) plus a minor or double major, a science course, a humanities course, an application course and two open electives.<\/p>\n<p>Professor of Psychology and Animal Studies <a href=\"\/psychology\/faculty\/highfill\/\">Lauren Highfill<\/a> said the new major will fill a rising demand among Eckerd students. \u201cThere has been a demonstrated interest among Eckerd students for years, particularly in the case of psychology students who would like a greater opportunity to study animals than that major currently allows, and among biology, environmental studies and marine science students who would like to focus on conservation, animal rehabilitation or careers in animal-related nonprofit organizations,\u201d Highfill explained.<\/p>\n<p>Eckerd students often gravitate toward opportunities that involve animals for <a href=\"\/service-learning\/\">Service-Learning<\/a> as well as on-campus research and local internships. The campus pet policy, one of the oldest and most accommodating in the country, attracts students with varying interests who find a common bond in animals.<\/p>\n<p>According to faculty research, \u201cAnimal studies scholars are also interested in thinking about how nonhuman animals have shaped human thought, culture and economic production\u2014even our very understanding of what humanity is\u2014since our earliest origins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do think it will help to draw students to Eckerd but also appeal to students who are already interested in Eckerd for our established strengths,\u201d Highfill added.<\/p>\n<p>With the introduction of new major-specific courses, a new faculty member will follow. The professor of animal studies will direct coursework in the major courses as well as minors.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;64&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;3619&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][vc_column_text]<em>Assistant Professor of Management Jennifer Knippen (standing) specializes in strategic management<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;32&#8243;][vc_column_text]Assistant Professor of Management <a href=\"\/management\/faculty\/knippen\/\">Jennifer Knippen<\/a> has been tapped to be the coordinator for the newly approved minor in entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEckerd\u2019s mission to create an innovative learning experience for our students and one that challenges them to \u2018think outside\u2019 is supported by an entrepreneurship minor,\u201d Knippen explained. \u201cA distinguishing point of our entrepreneurship minor is that it is designed to support our <a href=\"\/academics\/\">liberal arts majors<\/a>. Our students are encouraged to develop a depth of knowledge in their major area of interest. Then they will be tasked to think critically about the entrepreneurial opportunities they identify and the ethical, environmental and societal impacts of the decisions they make in pursuit of those opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Building on an already robust curriculum, <a href=\"\/management\/faculty\/\">management professors<\/a> formalized the minor this fall with the approval of a six-course minor (Cultivating an Entrepreneurship Mindset, Statistical Methods: Management and Economics, Management Information Systems, Principles of Entrepreneurship, Venture Creation and one elective) to be offered in fall 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Faculty anticipate that entrepreneurship minors will come from a variety of disciplines including the arts, biological sciences and social sciences\u2014as well as from within the management major.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt fits beautifully for art majors who want to learn how to have an independent career,\u201d Harrison said. \u201cIt fits beautifully for students in computer science who want to learn what to do after they\u2019ve developed an app. And it fits beautifully for our <a href=\"\/prehealth\/\">students who want to go on to medical school<\/a>, who want to open up their own practices\u2014and not just as a single doctor but managing a full practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The wide-ranging applications of the entrepreneurship minor make it an exciting addition to <a href=\"\/academics\/majors\/\">Eckerd\u2019s offerings<\/a>, Harrison said.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;] [divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;24&#8243;][image_with_animation&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":3619,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[205,37,242],"tags":[236],"class_list":{"0":"post-3615","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-about-eckerd","8":"category-academics","9":"category-animal-studies","10":"tag-entrepreneurship"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) -
