Animal and Veterinary Sciences Curriculum
In the Division of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, students take courses such as agricultural biochemistry, animal production, breeding and genetics, food science, nutrition, pathology, and physiology.
To assist students in preparing for the various careers in animal agriculture, the Division requires students to enroll in supporting courses in other divisions of the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Consumer Sciences and in other colleges. The degree program has significant flexibility and permits students to obtain a broad background and to specialize in areas of interest.
