Several degree options allow for specialization and graduate or professional school preparation. A brief description of each option and the educational opportunities they provide is given with the course requirements. The university has judging teams in livestock, meats and wool and a horse show team. Each team travels and participates in at least one major exposition a year. Field trips, as practical teaching aids in many classes, are scheduled throughout the year.
Internships are available to gain practical experience.
Student organizations such as the Block and Bridle Club, Food Science Club, Rodeo Club, Microbiology Club, Intercollegiate Horse Show Team and the Prevet Club provide additional educational and recreational opportunities.
