Inportant Note:

This is only one of many equally-sound schedule sequences.

Free electives and specified group electives are chosen to complement the student's "specialized degree option' or other career interest. Lists of courses that satisfy group requirements are maintained int he Animal science advising offices. Degree options are explained in AN S 100 and through appointments with the stude4nt's academic adviser in Animal Science. Specialized options include: General Animal Science, Animal Products, Companion Animal Management, Equine Management, Livestock Management, Pre-Graduate Studies and Pre-Veterinary Medicine.

Important Note:

This is only one of many equally-sound schedule sequences.

Free electives and specified group electives are often chosen to complement the student's career focus. The student's academic adviser assists with developing scheduling schemes that prepare students individually for careers in the animal industry.  They are explained fully in AN S 110 and through appointments with the student's adviser in Dairy Science.  Typical career areas include Advanced Degree in Dairy Science, Business and Finance, Agriculture Promotion and Information, Dairy Food Industry, Agricultural Sales and Marketing, International Agriculture, Animal Production and General Agribusiness and Pre-Veterinary Medicine.
