Animal Bioscience programs equip students to address inquiries about animal biology and systems. Those fascinated by the core biological principles of diverse animal species will discover this to be an immersive, practical field of study with numerous sought-after career paths post-graduation. Graduates emerge ready to pursue advanced research degrees (M.S. or Ph.D.) in animal biosciences. The program features an essential animal science foundation (covering anatomy, nutrition, physiology, health, genetics, and behavior) along with specialized tracks in advanced animal nutrition and health. It also incorporates recommended prerequisite coursework for graduate studies in animal science and biology (including calculus, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology). Undergraduate research opportunities are strongly encouraged. Animal bioscience professionals typically work as university professors, USDA/FDA researchers, or specialists in agricultural/pharmaceutical firms, focusing on areas like animal nutrition, virology, immunology, and genetics.
