I am currently 17 but I am looking to get into college as soon as possible. I have Graduated early.

You are graduated, which subject. Doing a bachelor degree in zoology could be start up. Later you can do masters and Ph.D in the subject you want to research.

You are looking for specific colleges and classes/programs, right?

Your high school grades and subject will matter. A high school "major" will not. You need to be "heavy" in science and math.

Here's a list of the best of the best: Colleges Offering a Major in Zoology/Animal Biology - College Toolkit

After you get your basic degree you can work on an advanced degree in your speciality.
