Learning Goals


Learning goals for students who successfully complete the program in animal science:

  1. Students will gain a broad knowledge of the animal science discipline to understand the future of the field and its diversity
  2. Students will apply biological and chemical principles and quantitative reasoning to concepts presented in core subject areas in animal science such as physiology, nutrition, genetics, and reproduction.
  3. Students will develop an in-depth understanding of option-specific subject areas such as preveterinary medicine, equine and production animal science, companion animal science, and lab animal science.
  4. Students will acquire skills for handling and caring for laboratory animals and livestock species.
  5. Students will develop critical thinking skills to identify scientific questions and devise solutions, including designing experiments, analyzing and interpreting research data, and summarizing findings.
  6. Students will develop oral and written communication skills to effectively deliver scientific and technical information to scientists as well as the public.
  7. Students will develop an understanding of the principles of animal welfare and the ethical treatment of animals.
