DolphinLab: Career Series

The Career Series DolphinLab courses combine plenty of hands-on experience with the dolphins, plus intensive academics. Delve more deeply into the fields of behavioral science, animal care and training, and cognition research. Applicants are expected to have a strong interest in pursuing a career centered on marine mammals. In fact, several of Dolphin Research Center’s current staff are themselves former DolphinLab students! If you simply want a vacation with dolphins, the Career Series courses are not the right fit for your goals, as these courses are quite rigorous and intensive.
