Animal Science explores livestock management and production. The curriculum emphasizes three key components: scientific principles, research methods, and hands-on training. The science component covers livestock anatomy, physiology, hormonal systems, and proper nutrition. Research instruction equips students with investigative techniques, while experiential learning offers practical training at the R.T. Wright Farm, including routine procedures like cattle pregnancy checks, castrations, and immunizations.
For aspiring veterinarians, the Animal Science (Pre-Vet) track provides a challenging curriculum focused on anatomy, physiology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and microscopic tissue studies.
