Colleges

Majors
Preveterinary studies- not offered in many schools so you usually have to take other classes like biology and whatnot in order to be accepted into a veterinary school. Obviously, help prepare for the path to becoming a veterinarian. Need people skills...
Zoology- study animals. All kinds, not just vertebrates so probably not a good choice for those that a bit squeamish around bugs and worms and such. Study the animal and its anatomy and physiology like the cells and the organs. (Good references I bet...) A bit like ecology in that you study the animals' environment and how they adapt to it.
Wildlife biology- Study wildlife. The animals, the plants, the environment and how they all interact. Study the ecosystems from urban, suburban, rural areas and in the wild. Focus on vertebrates and their environments.

Colleges
UC Davis- In northern California, 15 miles from Sacramento. It has an equestrian and raptor center (raptor as in birds of prey, not the dinosaurs)
American University- Private school in Washington D.C. 80% of the students admitted are from out of state and offers AH DAMN IT! It's religiously affiliated....
Kalamazoo College- In Michigan. Only 32% of students from out of state were admitted and all first year students live in on-campus housing. But don't you just love the name. Kalamazoo. Haha...
Northern Arizona University- rural setting, 74% of applicants are admitted, 30% are from out of state. First-time first-year students are allowed to have a car. Located 140 miles from Phoenix, Arizona and there's a 400 acre forest close by as well as an observatory.
