It offers undergraduate degrees, graduate certificates, and professional development programs focused on human-animal studies through online, classroom, and hybrid formats. The university is organized into three areas: the School of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Professional Studies, and the Center for Organizational Effectiveness in Human Capital Development, each addressing different facets of education in this field. Its target audience includes students seeking degrees in animal studies and related professional training, as well as professionals pursuing continuing education in areas such as disaster response, animal welfare policy, and human resources development in organizations. HSU positions itself within the higher education landscape by providing first-of-its-kind bachelor’s and certificate offerings in animal-related disciplines and by offering professional development aligned with organizational effectiveness in human capital, while also pursuing accreditation for its programs. The institution operates from its Washington, D.C. location and has an active emphasis on expanding access to education in animal studies through multiple instructional formats. A recent development is the establishment and growth of its School of Arts and Sciences, which aims to broaden its accredited degree and certificate programs in animal studies and humane leadership.
