ANIMAL SCIENCE (BS)
The animal science degree is designed to prepare students to
effectively serve the livestock industry by producing graduates
conversant in issues related to animal agriculture. The curriculum is
designed for academically talented students interested in the
application of biology and technology to the care, management and
study of domestic animals. While the program emphasizes traditional
farm species of dairy cattle, beef cattle and swine, it also addresses
companion animals, small ruminants and poultry. The animal science
curriculum contains a fundamental animal science core accompanied
by emphasis tracks. The tracks are pre-veterinary medicine and health,
business and industry, livestock management, and biotechnology and
research. Graduates are prepared for admission to professional and/or
graduate programs for advanced studies or entry into career fields.
