专业概况

在这里学什么？

Animal science is the study of the basic principles of science and their application to the biological, economic and environmental aspects of livestock and poultry production, companion and recreational animals, and the processing of animal products. Students will receive a firm foundation in the basic science disciplines, which include population and molecular genetics, nutrition, physiology (lactational, reproductive and growth), biotechnology, behavior, management, and welfare.

Curriculum

Students in the animal sciences major must complete FAES 1100, 39 to 40 credit hours in the major, 12 to 15 credit hours in a minor (selected at the end of the sophomore year), two credits (200 hours) of internship experience and sufficient electives to make a total of 121 hours of credit for graduation.

Students in the major take core courses that include Animal Handling, Introduction to Animal Sciences (with subsequent laboratory), Reproductive Physiology, Animal Health, Applied Animal Bioscience Laboratory, nutrition, genetics, a production and management course, a second production course that could include study abroad and/or industry experience, and an internship. Beyond these required courses, students work with their advisors to select a series of elective courses (10 to 11 credits) that will best prepare them for their career goals.

Within the major, students have the opportunity to specialize in the following areas: animal biosciences (a pre-vet track), animal industries, veterinary technology and nutrition.

Possible careers

Students may prepare themselves for a variety of careers in science, business, or even communications and education. Graduates find employment in research laboratories, biotechnical industries, chemical/pharmaceutical companies, genetics and nutrition companies, allied industry associations, government agencies, and in meat science/food processing organizations.

Many students continue their education for a professional or graduate degree. Veterinary medicine and graduate studies in the animal sciences are the two most common pursuits for further education, but students can continue their study in law, human medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physical therapy, nursing and optometry.
