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 for many U.S. veterinary schools.~~many~~ ~~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.
