The Department of Agriculture includes 15 full-time faculty with specific areas of expertise who are available for advisement and consultation. Four of these faculty members specifically serve as academic advisors for the department's animal science majors. The program makes extensive use of area farms and business for field trips in connection with classes required by the animal science curriculum. This is possible through cooperative education programs and internships. There are many departmental student organizations that appeal to animal science majors, including the Block and Bridle, the Rodeo Club, the Pre-Vet Medicine Club, and the Horseman's Club.
Numerous scholarships are available in the area of Animal Science.
University-wide scholarships include the Presidential and Governors Scholarships. There are at least 20 departmental scholarships available only to students majoring in some field of agriculture. This page was last modified July 27, 2000.
