Yes. But for the most part, your major will be Wildlife Bio and not Herpetology. I don’t know if there are any schools with specific herpetology majors.
S23 had a very specific interest in apex predators, so we’ve been down this road, but with a different focus. What you need to do is comb through schools and see who has a center for herpetology. Those schools will most likely offer the most classes in herpetology within wildlife bio and have professors who are doing research in that area. You might find there is also a specific herp lab run by one of the professors. Read their stuff, talk to them, once you’re enrolled, and try to get research positions with them. To really specialize in herpetology, you will have to go to grad school, but there should be many possibilities for you to study amphibians/snakes in undergrad. When S23 was considering Colorado State, we spoke with a student who was conducting amphibian research in Florida and Mexico, despite CSU not having a specific herpetology program.
Wildlife Bio majors must take a lot of chem, math, and research method courses, along with bio. There will also be courses on policy. The good thing is that some of these courses will involve field work, so you won’t be inside all the time. S23 has a 2nd major in GIS (Geospatial Information Systems) and minors in Statistics and Bioinformatics to support his research goals and to make him more marketable.
Here is an example of what I mean by a herpetology research center. This one is at Perdue and offers Undergraduate Research Experiences. These are great because they pay you to do research so you come out of it with a paycheck and experience. My son’s URE resulted in publication.IPFW Center for Reptile and Amphibian Conservation and Management
Perdue also has a herp lab. These tend to be more specific. Williams
However, if you search their course catalog, there are only 2 (higher level) courses that are specifically herpetology, while a couple of the intro courses/labs include some amphibian study, which seems pretty standard for undergrad.
They even have a herp club. https://www.instagram.com/pfwherpclub/?hl=en
I just pulled these up because Perdue was the first herp lab that came up when I searched, but you will find similar at other universities. It looks like the major at Perdue is called Wildlife.
