Animal Science (BS)

Turn Your Passion for Animals into a Purpose-Driven Career

The Animal Science program combines hands-on experience with cutting-edge science. You’ll learn the "why" and the "how" of animal care and production through classroom instruction and immersive labs that include beef cattle, swine, sheep, goats, poultry, and horses — all on campus.
 
Get real-world experience working with University-owned animals as you study animal behavior, nutrition, anatomy, and more. At our 43-acre Equine Center, located on South Campus, you’ll gain valuable skills in horse care and management. The center is home to around 35 stock-type horses and features a 16-stall training barn, a lighted arena with covered stands, and multiple round pens for groundwork training.
 
Veterinary medicine, animal production, equine management, or beyond... you'll graduate with the knowledge, confidence, and practical experience to lead in the field.
