Dear Miryam,
Zoology is a very niche degree. Before you commit to completing a zoology degree, I recommend taking the time to learn more about it and consider your career options. Most individuals who want to work with animals, will require a four-year college degree and if you decide you'd like to focus on a specialty, then additional education may be required. I recommend considering a four-year degree as it will provide you with more opportunities and likely, higher salaries. Please refer to the next steps as I have gathered a couple of sites with additional information on Zoology and a list of colleges and universities.
I wish you the best.

Thank you for answering! You made me realize that I worded my question wrong. While I was looking up hands-on courses for zoology (for being a zookeeper), they never really gave me zoology really. More like zoo technology

Thank you!
