The Department of Agricultural Sciences provides diverse programs that mirror the wide array of opportunities and expertise needed in contemporary agriculture and its associated fields. This rapidly evolving, international sector employs cutting-edge technologies to enhance food and agricultural product production, management, processing, and distribution.
Texas State University's Animal Science program delivers comprehensive education covering all facets of the livestock and poultry sectors, including commercial operations, food production, animal health and nutrition, biotechnological applications, and pre-veterinary preparation. The pre-veterinary focus meets all prerequisite requirements for numerous veterinary programs, including Texas A&M. Both Animal Science pathways equip students with practical knowledge for professional success in this discipline. Many classes provide direct interaction with livestock at the Freeman Center, Texas State's operational educational farm serving teaching, community engagement, and research needs. Participation in faculty-led research initiatives allows students to explore additional career paths while gaining valuable hands-on training in Animal Science.
