Animal Science

Understand and improve the life cycle of animals.

A growing world population means a greater need for the food we eat and a greater need for those who help provide it. Learn the principles and application of the complex concepts involved in animal production, care and use at a school regularly recognized for quality and affordability. In our robust, interdisciplinary agricultural department, you'll have the opportunity to explore applied animal physiology, nutrition, breeding and genetics, ecology and ethology, as well as livestock and poultry management.
