Department of Animal Science<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Animal Science strives to prepare students for life after graduation with quality classroom instruction, hands-on experience, industry interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The department is known for its practical, hands-on approach to instruction. To allow for as much student exposure to real-life experiences as possible in an academic program, farm and ranch operations involving 800 acres of land and eight major teaching centers are utilized as agricultural laboratories. In addition to the animal facilities, several classrooms, indoor laboratories, two indoor-teaching pavilions, and an indoor equine arena are utilized in providing students with valuable how-to experiences. We also have a newly built Animal and Plant Science Center that houses indoor laboratories, covered arenas, working pens, and animal facilities that will allow students to learn many aspects of animal production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located near our beautiful main campus, students gain relevant hands-on experience with livestock, equipment, and technology on a daily basis. The Department boasts a unique atmosphere that connects students personally with faculty engaged in applicable research and teaching. Students are part of a large student base with individualized attention to reduce the likely hood of remaining anonymous. Students can explore academic options in multiple concentration areas that better prepare them for the workforce or advanced academic degrees.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
