Students majoring in animal science examine innovations in animal nutrition, reproduction, breeding methods, and care practices, along with animal health and wellbeing. The curriculum includes foundational classes in genetics and breeding, animal nutrition, biological systems, and husbandry. The animal science program offers adaptable coursework, enabling academic advisors to tailor study plans to align with each student's aspirations. Biological and animal science concepts are demonstrated through work with various species including equines, cattle, swine, poultry, sheep, and pets. Learners put theoretical knowledge into practice during laboratory sessions and at campus research facilities.
The Animal Biology or Pre-Veterinary track builds upon the core animal science curriculum with an emphasis on scientific studies. Graduates of this specialization may qualify for veterinary school or advanced degree programs. Career opportunities also exist in fields like nutritional science, genetic research, biological systems, and pharmaceutical development.
