Licenciatura en Ciencias Animales

Animal Science is designed to prepare students to work in animal production agriculture, associated animal agribusiness, or competitively compete for entrance into veterinary school or other related Animal Science graduate programs. The program is based on seven pillars that are considered foundational in animal science. Those seven areas are: 1) genetics, 2) reproduction, 3) nutrition, 4) production, 5) behavior, handling, and welfare, 6) health and disease, and 7) animal benefit and use. Graduates will be prepared to enter the workforce or continue in graduate programs in a wide variety of options available in these seven areas.
