Program Requirements and Ethical Expectations The EATM program prepares the student for employment in the animal industry, which often involves working with dangerous animals. During this course of study, the student will work with dangerous animals at the college’s teaching zoo, as well as other animal facilities. Therefore, students enrolled in the EATM program are expected to strictly adhere to the rules and regulations of the program in order to ensure the safety of the students, animals, staff, and public. Furthermore, all students are expected to maintain the highest personal and ethical standards of conduct consistent with professional standards as perceived by the program faculty and professional personnel at the facilities where students perform internships. Any information indicating that such standards are not maintained is subject to review by members of the faculty, which may recommend student dismissal to the college administration. For successful completion of the EATM program, a minimum grade of C is necessary in all courses required for the major. Because much of the EATM program is sequential in nature, a minimum grade of C in each required course must be obtained before continuing to the next semester. Performance Standards In compliance with the 1990 American with Disabilities Act, the EATM Program does not discriminate against qualified applicants with disabilities. These performance standards, reflected in specific EATM course/ program objectives, are to assist each applicant in determining eligibility and the need for accommodations or modifications. The EATM Faculty in conjunction with the Moorpark College Health Services and community animal facilities will determine, on an individual basis, whether the necessary accommodations or modifications can reasonably be made. Critical Thinking - ability sufficient for safe judgment: calculating, reasoning, analyzing, prioritizing, and synthesizing data. Examples: identify cause/effect relationships in animal behavior and safety decisions. Interpersonal - the ability sufficient to interact with individuals, families, and groups with diverse social, emotional, cultural, and intellectual backgrounds; function effectively under stress. Examples: Establish rapport with the public, effectively interacting and working as a member of a team. Communication - abilities sufficient for effective verbal and written interactions. Examples: Explain animal behavior, teaching wildlife conservation, and document and interpret animal actions and animal responses. Mobility - sufficient to rapidly walk the entire length of America’s Teaching Zoo without interruption, run distances of 50 yards, maneuver in small confined spaces while reaching overhead objects. Examples: running to capture an escaped animal, shifting animal cages in overhead storage areas. Motor Skills - gross and fine motor abilities sufficient to provide safe and effective animal care. Examples: dexterity ranges from restraining a small bird or lizard to being able to stack bales of hay. Hearing - ability sufficient to monitor and assess animal behavior and health needs and to heed emergency signals. Example: animal behavioral changes are frequently accompanied by vocalization, must be able to recognize these changes, hear cries for help. Visual - ability sufficient for observation and visual assessment in well-lit and dimly-lit areas. Examples: observe animal responses and changes in condition, do a positive cage count of animals in varying conditions. Environmental ScienceExotic Animal Training and Management Tactile - ability sufficient for safe and humane handling of various- size animals. Examples: appreciation for the strength necessary for controlling a camel versus that for handling a rat, able to palpate the pulse rate of an animal. Travel Expectations Each EATM student is responsible for his or her own transportation and travel expenses. A portion of the curriculum involves travel by students to the Zoos in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, California an approximate radius of 45 miles from Moorpark. Students participate in field trips extending from one to several days in southern California and for one week in northern California. Additionally, students participate in several week-long internships located primarily in the United States, but there are opportunities abroad. Program Costs Costs incurred by EATM students include, but are not limited to: Personal health examination, immunizations, uniforms, equipment, materials fees, internship travel, field trips, tuition, books and living expenses. .
