PROFESSOR LESTER C. GRIEL, Program Coordinator
Cooperating Departments: Animal Sciences, Poultry Science, and Veterinary Science
This major provides a strong background in those biological and physical sciences underlying contemporary animal agriculture and establishes a sound foundation for graduate-level study in animal and related sciences. The student is expected to focus on one or more disciplines of the biological sciences related to animal agriculture during the senior year. Such disciplines may include animal behavior, genetics, nutrition, and physiology.
The mission of the Animal Bioscience major is to prepare students for admission to veterinary school and/or entry into graduate programs in animal biosciences. Students may prepare for graduate programs such as genetics, nutrition, microbiology, animal sciences, physiology, biochemistry, or others.
For the B.S. degree in Animal Bioscience, a minimum of 130 credits is required.
