Department of Animal Sciences
| www.ag.ndsu.edu/ansc |
The Department of Animal Sciences offers three majors: (1) Animal Science; (2) Equine Science; and (3) Veterinary Technology. Each of these program areas are based on the same fundamental principles—biology and husbandry of animals—but each offer students an opportunity to focus their individual interests.
The faculty and staff are dedicated to providing students with up-to-date information regarding the latest techniques in animal husbandry, production, business, biology, communication, nursing, training, and meat science. Besides taking courses, students have the opportunity to obtain specific skills and develop contacts during internships in industry or research.
Pre-veterinary school course work: Necessary coursework for meeting entrance requirements of veterinary schools can be taken while majoring in Animal Science or Equine Science. Working with an academic adviser to meet entrance requirements is important.
Transfer Credits: Transfer courses with grade 'C' or better only will be accepted for Animal Science and Equine Science courses in the major.
