Are you passionate about animals? Do you want to save the world and make a difference for wild animals and wild places? The Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo is located on Santa Fe College’s Northwest Campus, and accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA).
Supervised by the professional staff of the SF Teaching Zoo, you gain hands-on experience in every aspect of zoo animal management, from daily care, to habitat construction and maintenance, to educating the public on our diverse collection of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Our students are not assistants to anyone; they are our zookeepers. Find your niche, learn to go above and beyond the day-to-day operations of zoos and become a conservation champion!
Our graduates occupy positions in zoos, aquariums, aviaries, wildlife parks, conservation organizations, veterinary clinics, science museums and animal care facilities around the United States and the world. Program graduates are contributing to the field through their leadership, dedication and professional training.
