The Department of Animal Sciences at Purdue University provides an exceptional setting, distinguished faculty, and state-of-the-art facilities to foster one of the nation's premier graduate and professional programs. Students engage in groundbreaking research that expands biological knowledge across species that enhance human welfare. Purdue's Animal Sciences program explores animal distinctiveness while improving the production and quality of animal protein. The department grants both Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees, equipping graduates for research and teaching roles in academic, corporate, and public sectors. We take particular pride in our faculty's global recognition and frequent international collaborations. In recent years, over a third of our faculty have participated in overseas programs, delivering technical research assistance. Notably, three faculty members simultaneously held Fulbright Scholar positions in different countries in 1993. Modern challenges increasingly require interdisciplinary approaches, exemplified when seven Purdue researchers received USDA recognition in 1992 as the "Lean Team" for their pioneering work in lean-growth studies. We welcome your interest in Purdue's Animal Sciences Department as you evaluate graduate programs. Our program offers outstanding educational quality with ample opportunities for practical research experience.
