The Animal and Poultry Science Program is designed to provide students with the basic concepts of animal and poultry science, the fundamentals of modern production systems, and the applied management techniques used in today’s animal and poultry industries. Two major program options leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in General Agriculture are offered.
Option 1 is a career-oriented program designed to provide students with a thorough knowledge of poultry and animal production combined with a working knowledge of economics and agribusiness.
Option 2 is a pre-professional program which includes the prerequisite courses required to apply to the various veterinary colleges or to poultry and/or animal science graduate programs in the areas of nutrition, physiology, diseases, and genetics. Students may apply to veterinary schools in the USA and abroad.
