Program Description
This is a collaborative program among the Departments of Animal and Range Sciences, Dairy Science, Veterinary Science, and Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering. Successful completion of requirements leads to a Master of Science in Animal Sciences with specialization in Nutrition. Areas of focus are: Genetics and Reproduction; Meats, Muscle Biology and Growth; Range Science; Production and Processing Systems; or Veterinary Science.
This program allows for considerable latitude in the education and training of students. Identification of a major professor with resources to support the student’s thesis project is required for unconditional acceptance into the program. An advisory committee will be formed for each student. The advisory committee will work with the student to design a unique and individualized plan of study to meet the interests and needs of the student. While the training of most students is largely directed to a single discipline represented within one of the participating departments, cross-discipline training is available and encouraged.
