Personal
An online education doesn’t have to be an impersonal one. Our maximum class size is 12, providing you with ample opportunity to get to know your instructors – and for them to know you. ABI courses are taught through Moodle, the most widely used online learning system in the world, employed by hundreds of colleges and universities. This highly interactive platform promotes regular interaction between students and faculty. Each week you’ll participate in discussions, case studies and projects that develop your skills under the guidance of your instructors. You’ll share your challenges and learn from your colleagues as well. While other schools provide self-study programs, we offer a truly collaborative learning environment.
Confidence
You can be confident in your educational investment with the Animal Behavior Institute. We are proud to offer the most generous refund policy in the industry. You can review your courses during the first week of each semester. If you decide they’re not exactly what you wanted, we’ll refund 100% of your tuition, no questions asked.
