ACAS is enthusiastic about the empirical research work that is being done by its students and faculty, 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.
ACAS was founded in 2004 by a group of university professors, animal science and behavior professionals and Internet technology experts in order to fulfill a need for educated professionals to work in career positions in the field of applied animal behavior science and to deliver higher education to working adult learners globally without regard to geographic boarders. ACAS is proud to have graduated students who reside in Florida, South Carolina, New York, Ohio, Colorado, California, New Hampshire, and other states as well as in other nations including Iceland, Spain and Taiwan. We currently have students as far away as Australia and as nearby as our own state of Florida. Many of these students currently work with animals as veterinarians, veterinary technicians, trainers, and animal-related business owners. Others are teachers, attorneys, financial professionals, real estate professionals, engineers, business workers, homemakers and others who seek career changes in order to work with animals or to advocate for their safety and welfare.
The American College of Applied Science envisions a world where society and government places higher education high on every agenda since educated and caring people are less likely to harm each other, harm other living creatures and harm the planet. We envision a world where no animal will suffer needlessly for want of food, shelter, companionship or medical attention; where through public and professional education, planned population policies, personal responsibility and governmental and community involvement the needless killing of healthy but unwanted companion animals is significantly reduced and someday non-existent; where companion animals can work together with families and professionals to assist those with special needs to lead better and fuller lives. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi once said “A nation can be judged by how it treats its animals.” Our graduates and faculty will strive, as professionals and members of our national and global communities, to serve the common good of society and the animals we share our lives with, each in their own individual way.
The college Dream Pond Science Field Station and Reserve is located just outside of the Village of Crescent City in northern Florida. It is the home of various dog breeds, horses, miniature donkeys, llamas, sheep, goats, chickens, guinea fowl, and aquatic birds. Students meet here for Academic Residency Lab courses and then proceed to animal shelter, animal sanctuary and governmental animal control facilities partnered with the college where they receive hands-on experience with animals under faculty supervision. There are no formal classrooms at the Science Field Station and Reserve.
