Ornithology Majors and Colleges (1 Viewer)

I don't know if many universities offer ornithology as an entire major (perhaps Cornell?). Typically, one would get a degree in biology, zoology, or wildlife, but work on an undergraduate project with a professor who studies birds. Louisiana State University would be an excellent choice to consider- there are several professors there who study birds, and there is a museum with a large bird collection. If you want to stay closer to home, I'm sure that with a little internet searching you could find some universities in Virginia or surrounding states that offer good biology programs and have at least one faculty member that studies birds.

Yes, look broadly. Lots of work is environmental science. This professor has doen work with birds, yet her cv shows lots more. Mostly the neurobiology and mercury areas.
