MAJOR IN ANIMAL SCIENCES
For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences

Students pursuing this major have two options: management and science.

Management Option
The management option is designed for students intending to pursue a career in animal management or one of the associated industries on completion of their undergraduate degree. It emphasizes the scientific disciplines involved in animal production and includes business courses. Students must complete the requirements in one of several specializations along with the common core requirements of the curriculum.
