Undergraduate Programs
 The B.S. in animal science leads to careers in livestock production and management or one of the many allied industries such as feed production, artificial insemination, and livestock or farm equipment support and sales. In addition, students can meet the requirements to attend graduate school or veterinary college.
Coursework includes computer and communications training, sales, and business management. Other required coursework is traditional to livestock degrees, but students have the option of taking courses specific to their interests. Options also exist for students who wish to pursue pre-veterinary studies.
Animal Science: B.S. Program Outcomes
 Animal Science graduates will
- demonstrate competencies in dairy/livestock management;
- demonstrate individual communication skills;
- demonstrate personal problem solving, decision-making, and critical thinking skills;
- demonstrate technology skills used for dairy/livestock management decision making and problem solving;
- work effectively in teams;
- be able to obtain a career in the dairy/livestock industry.
Program Emphasis Options
Students can choose one of the following:
Animal Science Emphasis
This emphasis leads graduates to careers within the livestock industry such as production and management, feed production, artificial insemination, livestock and farm equipment support/sales, pharmaceutical sales, and veterinary technician. Students are exposed to classroom instruction and hands-on experiential learning in the laboratory. Coursework includes computer and communications training, sales training, and business management. Other required coursework is traditional to livestock degrees and may include nutrition, breeding, reproduction, evaluation, feeds, production and management, and facilities. Students can take courses specific to their interest. |
Pre-Veterinary Medicine Emphasis
The pre-veterinary medicine emphasis meets the course entry requirements for admission to the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine; however, similar entry requirements among colleges of veterinary medicine, coupled with sufficient flexibility within the curriculum, allow graduates to meet the admission requirements for many other institutions. Students are exposed to traditional classroom instruction as well as hands-on/experiential learning in the laboratory. |
