Animal science offers an opportunity for training in a diversity of basic sciences and the
integration of such knowledge into the framework of a living system. Students may major or
co-major in animal science or one of the following disciplines: biochemistry,
genomics, genetics,
microbiology, nutrition, physiology or statistics. Students may also concentrate in
management and production areas.
Admission Requirements: Factors considered for admission include: grade
point average, scores on the GRE (for M.S. and Ph.D. applicants), undergraduate courses,
letters of recommendation and a member of the Animal Science Department faculty willing to
serve as the applicant's advisor.
Master of Science: A minimum of 30 credit hours of graduate
work in the degree program is required. The minor is optional and external faculty
representation is not required on the advisory committee.
Master of Animal Science: The non-thesis Master of Animal Science degree (Option B) requires a minimum of 36 credit hours, 19 credits of core courses and 17 credits of elective courses. Additional information regarding core courses and elective course requirements can be found on the
Animal Science Graduate Program web site.
Doctoral Degree Requirements: The department offers a Ph.D.
program in Animal
Science and Poultry Science with a concentration in Animal Science.
Student Financial Support: A limited number of research and teaching assistantships are available through the department and are awarded on a competitive basis. Students may also be supported by research grant funds awarded to faculty members. Students applying for assistantships are advised to apply by February 15 for fall admission.
Other Relevant Information: To provide an opportunity for students to
develop their teaching skills, all graduate students are required to assist in the
departmental teaching program, regardless of source of financial support.
