Animal Systems

Animal Systems focuses on the nutrition, management, and welfare of livestock and poultry. Animal science professionals are committed to devising innovative solutions to challenges posed by a growing world population, shifting diet patterns, limited resources, and changing climatic conditions.

Entomology (minor option)

Entomology is the study of insects, the most numerous and diverse animals on earth. Entomologists study insects to learn how they interact with their environment, whether it’s a crime scene or a farmer’s field.

Food Science

Food scientists fuel the minds that feed the world. They study the physical, microbiological, and chemical makeup of food and use their findings to develop the nutritious, delicious, and innovative food products that line supermarket shelves everywhere.

Plant Biotechnology

Plant Biotechnology uses applied biology and chemistry to develop advanced knowledge of crop plants and their pathogens. Plant Biotechnologists develop new technologies for crop improvement.

Soil Science

Soil Science is the study of the living land. The soil is a fundamental part of the environment and the basis for life in terrestrial environments. The soil also affects aquatic systems and the atmosphere through ecosystem interactions. Students interested in ecosystem function, whether natural or managed, will benefit from a solid background in soil science.
