I agree with David. But then I wondered if there are programs for getting an 
undergraduate degree that don't use animal studies in their courses of study. 
(Personally, that is hard for me to fathom in light of my own experiences). Are 
there people on the list who would have a program allowing students who object 
to animal research (or whatever name the students tend to give to it). I'm sure 
that some of our students could get through and claim or even really not 
remember it (sic) but I'm really wondering if there are undergraduate 
counseling/SW tracks that might not include much reference to the animal 
literature. Tim Shearon, Chair and professor of psychology, Albertson College,

They were in a professional graduate *psychology* program and they
were startled to encounter a reference to lab-animal research?  How
had they gotten that far?
