Animal Biosciences
Make animal biology come alive by learning genetics, reproduction, nutrition, regenerative medicine, and management. You’ll get lots of hands-on experience with horses, beef and dairy cattle, sheep, and pigs. You will have ample opportunity to research and study animals through the lens of ecology. This merging of science and application will prepare you for going on to graduate or professional programs. This major contains all courses required for entry into the College of Veterinary Medicine. Hands-on work experience with all the beef, horse, sheep, goat, and swine is available to students via internships or part-time jobs.
