Location of the university provides rich opportunities for students to obtain specialized and practical educational experience in production, management, feeding, marketing and processing. Cooperation of prominent local breeders, feeders, producers, marketing organizations and related animal industries offers additional opportunity for field study. For the student interested in meat science and processing, specialized courses are available. A student may develop a program emphasizing meat science by consulting with the appropriate departmental advisor.
The Pre-veterinary Science/Graduate School subplan meets requirements for admission to most schools of veterinary medicine, related medical technical fields, and for graduate study in animal nutrition, meat science, animal breeding and animal physiology.
The Animal Industries Management subplan is designated to prepare students for employment as managers of equine enterprises and related agribusiness opportunities in the equine industry. The subplan combines course work in equine production, nutrition, breeding, genetics, and diseases with studies in the management aspects of an equine enterprise.
