• The American College of Applied Science is
  currently the only U.S. based institution of
  higher learning to offer graduate and
  undergraduate degree programs, and non-degree
  professional development diploma programs, in
  companion animal science and behavior based upon
  a foundation of applied behavior analysis and a
  working relationship with the veterinary
  community. ACAS has been licensed as a degree

Applied Animal Behavior Research 

• ACAS is enthusiastic about the empirical research
  work that is being done by its students and facult
  y, and encourage them to present their findings
  at educational conferences, both domestically and
  globally, and to the editors of peer-reviewed
  scientific journals so that our college
  community can make a contribution to the
  scientific literature as it pertains to the
  under-researched areas of companion animal
  science, behavior and welfare. Our students have,
  thus far, produced some excellent and useful
  thesis studies and continue to do so each
  semester.
