Hi Adam,
I love that you're thinking of how to advance your career!
I just finished an MIS degree at Southern Utah University in Contemporary Animal Services Leadership. It's a 30 hour degree, fully online, and largely self-paced. It was extremely rewarding and I made a ton of industry connections as well learning a lot.
If you want to dip your toes into it without committing to a full degree, there are many certifications that also give you hours that can later apply to the degree.
You can find out more here: Best Friends Executive Leadership Certification Program | SUU
If you want to start something soon, the next Principles of Contemporary Animal Services class/certificate starts on January 9th!

I'd also be happy to answer any questions about it!
Cheers,
Jess
