(217) 333-3462MAJOR IN ANIMAL SCIENCES
For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences
Students pursuing this major have four options: animal business, management, and industry; companion, recreational, and laboratory animal science; food animal science; and science, biotechnology, and pre-veterinary medicine.
Animal Business, Management, and Industry Option
Students in the animal business, management, and industry option will be exposed to the business-related aspects of livestock production and related industries. Students will study the principles of economics, finance, risk and the decision-making process, as well as the scientific disciplines associated with animal production.
