What would I study in college for Animals?

Major in zoology with a minor in Biology with an emphasis on old world constrictors for grad school

Finding a school with zoology as a major is going to be hard, not impossible but hard. According to US News and World Report, here is a list of US colleges that offer a major titled zoology or animal biology for the 2006-07 school year.

The term "zoology" isn't very trendy these days in the biological sciences community (for a discussion of these trends see A General Review of Zoological Trends in the 20th century). Sometimes you need to learn the lingo. You'll increase your pool of possible schools if you also look at colleges with majors in things like Wildlife Management, Ecology & Evolution, and environmental biology. This link may help--but I'm not sure if it is a comprehensive list.

Hmm. When I got to college Im going to stive for a major in Ornithology and all that. And a minor a bit better than a minor in zoology but mainly, what I want to do when I "get older" is breed enangered species of birds and then help repopulated them in the wild, so rehubilitating the chicks (when they are fully grown) into the wild. And I want to work with BIG cat and WILD canines... and well.. I just love animals, and LOVE marinelife like whales, and dolphins, and sharks..turtles,snakes, and the likes. lol.. gosh.. if only I had twins...wait..triplits!!

I don't think you'll find a college with an undergrad degree in Ornithology or Herpetology. These are way too specialized fields for undergrad degrees. In fact, you'll have some trouble finding grad schools with programs in those.

The original poster said he was interested in art as a major. Can you draw? Are you good with programs like photoshop, CorelDraw, etc. Maybe a career in medical/biological illustration interests you? There are some colleges that offer a masters degree in this. But they are competitive and you need to know you basic sciences as tigerlilly mentioned.
