5 Proposal for Animal Sciences (ANSC) Undergraduate Curriculum Modification and Revision 1. Summary Department of Animal and Avian Sciences College of Agriculture and Natural Resources This submission is a proposal to revise the curriculum for the Animal Sciences (ANSC) undergraduate program. The primary proposed revisions submitted herein are as follows: 1) Drop one ANSC option: Avian Business (0104B), 2) Add a new ANSC option: Animal Biotechnology (0104F), 3) Rename existing ANSC options as follows: i. ANSC 0104A to Animal Care and Management, ii. ANSC 0104D to Laboratory Animal Care, iii. ANSC 0104E to Sciences/Preprofessional. 4) Update requirements for ANSC Core and ANSC Options, 5) Add 7 new ANSC courses totaling 18 credits, 6) Drop 16 ANSC courses totaling 39 credits, and 7) Modify the VPAC course information for 14 existing ANSC courses (reducing 3 credits from current 37/38). 2. Overview of the ANSC Program The current ANSC Undergraduate Program was adopted over 15 years ago. There have been only minor revisions to the program since, and the current ANSC major is organized into six listed options as follows: ANSC 0104A Animal Management and Industry ANSC 0104B Avian Business ANSC 0104C Equine Studies ANSC 0104D Laboratory Animal Management ANSC 0104E Sciences ANSC 1299D Combined Agricultural/Veterinary Sciences The ANSC 0104E and 1299D options have exactly the same course requirements. Accordingly, from the viewpoint of curriculum revision these two options can be considered to be one option. However, there is a basis for having the two options listed separately, and the reasons are as follows. These options were designed for students who intend to continue their education beyond the B.S. through either graduate school or veterinary medicine. The goal of the majority of incoming ANSC students is to gain admission in a veterinary school. Accordingly, entering new and transfer students to the 1 2/4/2005

6 ANSC program overwhelmingly enter either in the Sciences (0104E) or the Combined degrees (1299D) option. At the time of first enrollment at UMCP, approximately 90% of incoming ANSC students consider veterinary school to be their goal. The required courses in the 0104E/1299D option(s) meet the requirements for application to the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (VMRCVM) located at Blacksburg, and through choosing appropriate electives, ANSC students can meet the course requirements for all other veterinary schools. Accordingly, the required courses in these options are heavily based in biological sciences and supporting courses including chemistry and physics. The specific purpose for having these two options listed separately, but with the same requirements, is that the 1299D option is a combined degree program. This means that within the 1299D option, it is possible for a student who gains admission to a veterinary school after 90 credits at UMCP to attain two degrees (DVM and BS) with the last year of the UMCP baccalaureate course requirements completed at the veterinary school. These students must complete all Core requirements at UMCP. The 1299D option itself does not lead to a UMCP degree. Therefore, the students not admitted to a veterinary school before completing the B.S. requirements are transferred from 1299D into the Science option (0104E), in their final semester at UMCP. This switch allows them to receive the B.S. degree. The 1299D option plays an important role in the ANSC program in that it facilities the recruiting of talented new students because it is considered by the students to be a Pre Vet option. The ANSC 0104A, 0104B, 0104C and 0104D options were designed primarily to serve students who terminate their formal education with the B.S. degree. Originally, the Animal Management and Industry, Avian Business, and Equine Studies options were designed primary to lead to employment in the commercial livestock, poultry and horse industries, respectively. Maryland is still one of the top states in poultry production, with a major broiler industry on the Eastern Shore. Dairy production also continues to contribute significantly to the Maryland economy with a significant number of dairies located primarily along the central and eastern border with Pennsylvania. However, because of the dramatic increase in the efficiency and scale of modern food animal units, fewer animal science graduates today become directly involved with managing animal production units. The Avian Business option has never attracted more than a few students. A number of Thoroughbred breeding farms remain in Maryland, and there is, of course, an active racing industry. However, by a considerable margin, the majority of horses in Maryland are kept for pleasure, resulting in a number of jobs associated with the care and housing of privately owned horses. Today, the majority of industry related jobs available to ANSC graduates tend to be in the service and support industries. Additionally, a number of animal advocacy, government, research, animal industry, and other interest groups are headquartered in the greater Washington metropolitan area, and these groups employ a number of animal science students. The type of employment ranges widely from research technicians/animal caretakers at institutions including (NIH, USDA, DOD, Smithsonian-National Zoo, etc.) to information specialists in science and policy and public relations (national headquarters, advocacy and animal protection organizations, scientific organizations, etc.). The Laboratory Animal Management option has experienced recent increased enrollment in part because of a growing, active research community in the Washington area using animal models. In general the student interest in 2 2/4/2005

7 Equine Studies and Laboratory Animal Management has tended to increase as indicated in Table 1. The interest in these programs, especially the Equine Program, is understated by these data because the department had no faculty member working with horses for a long period of time and up until approximately 3 years ago. The proposed modification to ANSC herein is intended to update the curriculum consistent with current career path tracks available to ANSC graduates. Specifically, the proposal is to add one new option (Animal Biotechnology) while deleting the ANSC 0104B Avian Business option. The Animal Management and Industry option be will be renamed Animal Care and Management, and the 0104D option will be renamed Laboratory Animal Care. The goal associated with the changes in all the management and care options is to educate students consistent with the variety of job situations that are to be encountered by the graduates. Specifically, the goal was to provide these ANSC students with a solid knowledge of biological principles while also giving them the necessary courses in the application of biology as it relates to animal science. Very few ANSC graduates today become employed in work directly involving contact with livestock. Rather, it is more common for today s students to find employment in a research facility that uses animals. Accordingly, there is a demand for students trained in advanced animal laboratory techniques (e.g., applied molecular biology, genomics, etc.) who also have animal care expertise. The animal-related biotechnology industries potentially offer a number of employment opportunities in laboratory, technical, and research staff positions. Accordingly, this proposal adds an Animal Biotechnology option and presents new course offerings in this area. To match ANSC course offerings with the decreasing number of instructional FTEs and to attain greater efficiency overall, a number of old courses are deleted, some current courses are reduced in credits, and some courses will become offered in alternate years. 3. Rationale For ANSC Curriculum Modification A. Teaching Faculty Contributing to the ANSC Program. The ANSC undergraduate program falls under the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences but includes teaching commitment from the faculty of the UMCP campus of VMRCVM. Historically, the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences resulted from mergers of the Departments of Animal Science, Dairy Science, and Poultry Science. While these mergers date back to 1985 and 1996, the current ANSC curriculum still shows a significant influence from these earlier departments. These influences include the catalog listing of a rather large number of courses even though the number of teaching FTE s have declined. And the current ANSC listings include a number of courses that no longer have faculty with either the time, interest, or expertise to teach. 3 2/4/2005

8 B. Recent Enrollment Summary and Impact of Proposed ANSC Modifications Recent enrollments by ANSC option are shown in Table 1, below. Table 1. Recent Student Enrollment by ANSC Option. ANSC HEGIS Student Enrollment Options Code Fall 02 Fall 03 Fall 04 Animal Management and Industry 0104A Avian Business 0104B Equine Studies 0104C Laboratory Animal Management 0104D Sciences 0104E Combined Agricultural/Veterinary Science 1299D Lacking in the present configuration of ANSC options are the courses/program tracks needed to prepare students specifically for technical support employment in biotechnology. There are an increasing number of advanced biotechnology laboratories (commercial, government, and university) that have needs for persons trained in specific types of animal lab applications. These jobs span across a number of areas. For example, a student learning embryo transfer/manipulation in a zoo, laboratory or domestic animal model obtains the needed credentials to also seek employment in human in vitro fertilization labs where embryo manipulation skills are at a premium. Two recent faculty members have been hired specifically in the area of animal transgenics and biotechnology. Thus, the Animal and Avian Sciences Department has the faculty resource potential for providing upper division animal-based applications and biotechnology training. Therefore, this proposal includes the development of an option in Animal Biotechnology which will permit not only direct entry into the job market after the B.S. but also includes preparative courses necessary for continuation into graduate education in these fields. 4 2/4/2005

Impact of Curriculum Revisions on Current ANSC Students The revisions proposed will have minimal impact on the current ANSC students. No required courses are being deleted with the exception of ANSC412 (Animal Diseases), and this course is being replaced with a new course ANSC340 (Population Animal Health) that will include the topic of diseases. Two required courses ANSC 211(Anatomy) and ANSC220 (Livestock Management) are being reduced from 4 credits to 3 credits. Overall, the proposed curriculum should give both current and incoming ANSC students access to more total course topic offerings. An increased number of ANSC courses will be offered only in alternate years, and this will require both students and advisors to plan accordingly. Senior Seminar is added as a requirement for all ANSC students. Once the new ANSC curriculum is approved and in effect, current ANSC students will have the opportunity to select to either finish their BS studies in their current ANSC option, or else they can choose to finish according to the requirements of the new ANSC curriculum. 5 2/4/2005
