In this minor, you’ll choose from a wide array of electives, with the potential to delve into topics such as animal genetics, diseases, and ethics, and gain hands-on equine, poultry and dairy experience. Your studies will prepare you for careers in various animal industries or further studies in veterinary medicine or graduate school.
