Some students elect to continue their education in graduate or medical schools.
Many companies located in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania that conduct large and small animal research and develop and market animal health and nutritional products provide numerous employment opportunities for our graduates with B.S. degrees. Commercial dairy, horse and livestock farms, historical agricultural farms and zoos also provide employment opportunities. A farm complex is maintained on-campus for dairy cattle, deer, goats, horses, poultry, sheep, and swine. Laboratory animals are also maintained for research and instructional purposes. The faculty all have Ph.D. degrees in their area of specialization.
