Do you go to university if want be a zookeeper?

While there's no single required degree to become a zookeeper, a university education is highly advantageous and often a necessity for securing a position at a reputable zoo. Many zoos prefer, and some require, applicants to have a bachelor's degree, often in a related field such as zoology, biology, animal science, or wildlife management. A degree provides the necessary foundational knowledge in animal behavior, biology, husbandry, and conservation.
