Program Description

Graduate Programs

The Department of Animal Science offers programs leading to a Master of Science of degree in Animal Science or Food Science.

Doctor of Philosophy degrees may be obtained in Animal Breeding and Reproduction, Animal Nutrition, and Food Science.

Additionally, a Master of Agriculture in Animal Science is offered, which is not a research oriented degree. It is considered a terminal degree.
 

The Plan of Study for each degree program is determined by the student and his/her Advisory Committee. In the Master of Science degree programs, students are expected to take courses in areas that support their discipline or interest, that are above and beyond the courses normally required for a B.S. degree in that major or closely related major. For the Ph.D. degree, students take courses related to their major that are beyond those for the Master of Science degree. The emphasis is usually on research at the Ph.D. level.

The Department of Animal Science owns large herds and flocks of beef and dairy cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry. In addition to the livestock facilities, the Department has a modern facility for processing meat and milk products. The Animal Science Building and the Noble Research Center contain well-equipped laboratories devoted to research efforts of the faculty and graduate students in degree programs.
