b. Summary
of program:
The
Animal Science major encompasses a wide range of disciplines in which the
principles of biology, chemistry and biochemistry are applied to animal agriculture.
Instruction is offered in animal nutrition, physiology, genetics, and
reproduction; in animal health and molecular biology; and in dairy, livestock
and poultry management. The department offers four areas of concentration
within the major: preveterinary medicine, animal biotechnology, applied animal
science, and general animal science. Students interested in pursuing graduate
studies in the animal sciences are well prepared by available course work and
laboratory experiences. Students interested in veterinary medicine have the
opportunity to obtain preveterinary training required for admission to
veterinary school. The preveterinary concentration is designed to meet not only
the department, college, and University requirements for the B.S. degree, but
also the admission requirements of the U.S. veterinary schools to which
students apply. Students are encouraged to participate in a broad realm of
animal science research projects in the department through independent
study/special problems courses. An Honors Degree option is offered for all the
concentrations in the Animal Science major.

Revised 04/23/01
The Department of Animal and Food Sciences offers undergraduate programs leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, as well as minor programs in Animal Science and in Food Science and Technology.
The Animal
Science major encompasses a wide range of disciplines in which the principles
of biology, chemistry and biochemistry are applied to animal agriculture.
Instruction is offered in animal nutrition, physiology, genetics, and
reproduction; in animal health and molecular biology; and in dairy, livestock
and poultry management. The department offers four areas of concentration
within the major: preveterinary medicine, animal biotechnology, applied animal
science, and general animal science. Students interested in pursuing graduate
studies in the animal sciences are well prepared by available course work and
laboratory experiences. Students interested in veterinary medicine have the
opportunity to obtain preveterinary training required for admission to
veterinary school. The preveterinary concentration is designed to meet not only
the department, college, and University requirements for the B.S. degree, but
also the admission requirements of the U.S. veterinary schools to which
students apply. Students are encouraged to participate in a broad realm of
animal science research projects in the department through independent
study/special problems courses. An Honors Degree option is offered for all the
concentrations in the Animal Science major.
The Food Science and Technology major is designed to provide students with a broad understanding and professional preparation in the areas of food processing, preservation, evaluation, packaging, and distribution. Upon graduation, job opportunities include positions within the food and allied industries, government, and independent research institutions. The role of the food scientist in such positions may involve product and process development, food safety engineering, quality control and analysis, technical service and sales, with opportunities in regulatory agencies, education, and basic research. Students choose one of two concentrations within the Food Science and Technology major. The Food Science Concentration has a greater emphasis on the biological, chemical and physical sciences, preparing a student for research opportunities within the Food Science disciplines. Additional recommended electives can provide a student with the course work to pursue a food processing engineering emphasis. The Food Technology Concentration provides a curriculum which has less emphasis on the sciences; however, it allows the flexibility to choose minors in related disciplines such as Food and Agribusiness Management or Nutrition or to take courses in Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management. An Honors Degree option is offered in the Food Science major for both concentrations.
