An Animal Science major may help you transform your interests into a career. Animal scientists study farm animals and develop ways of improving livestock production and processing.
Animal scientists work in a variety of careers.
They may inspect and grade livestock food products, purchase livestock, or work in technical sales or marketing. They may work as extension agents or consultants and advise agricultural producers on how to upgrade animal-housing facilities properly for lower mortality rates. This concentration prepares students to work in animal related industries, livestock production, county extension work, livestock marketing, and farm, ranch, or feedlot management. Animal Science majors in the Industry concentration have an opportunity to complete a second major in Agricultural Business by taking just a few extra classes. Elective credits in one major are used to meet the required courses in the other major.
