The MAPP program : https://vet.tufts.edu/graduate-department-comparative-health-sciences/ms-animals-and-public-policyfocuses on human-animal relationships and their implications for policy and community action. While students enter the program with different interests, skills, philosophies, and aspirations, all share a passion for understanding human-animal relationships and promoting the status of animals in society. The Animals in Society course uses lectures, discussions, and assignments to survey contemporary issues regarding animals and how those issues play out in public policy and community practices toward animals. The course uses a series of modules that examine the historical, social, ethical, political, legal, legislative, and economic aspects of society’s relationship to recognized categories of animals.
