Undergraduate Program

In August of 1999, the Poultry Technology and Management major was combined with that of the Department of Dairy and Animal Science to form the Animal Sciences major. This major is designed for students with career interests in (1) graduate or veterinary school; (2) research relating to and/or using animals; (3) managing a farm or business related to animal agriculture; or (4) technical sales or service, cooperative extension, or the promotions industry. The major has two options, business and science, and has tremendously increased the pool of students receiving instruction in poultry science. The Animal Sciences major has grown steadily since its inception and is currently the largest undergraduate program in the College of Agricultural Sciences.

The Poultry and Avian Science (P A S) Minor, launched in January 2005, is designed for students who wish to supplement their academic major with studies focused on the biology, management, and diseases of various avian species with an emphasis on domestic fowl. (Handbook information)

The Department of Poultry Science also contributes to the Environmental Resource Management (E R M) major which is for students who are interested in environmental protection and the sustainability of our natural resources.
