Looper Head of the Department B Agricultural, Food, and Life Sciences Building 79-575-5 http://animal-science.uark.edu/ The animal science major offers three areas of concentration designed to provide the scientific and technical education to prepare students for positions of leadership and responsibility. Students gain valuable experience pertaining to the production of beef and dairy cattle, swine, horses, sheep, and companion animals. In addition, extensive study is offered in the specialized areas of animal health, breeding and genetics, meat science, nutrition, and physiology. Students majoring in animal science are prepared for a variety of careers. Pre-veterinary, pre-medical, and pre-professional course requirements may be fulfilled while meeting degree requirements. Specific career opportunities include positions and services related to the production, merchandising, processing and distribution of meat, milk, and related products. Additional opportunities include field persons, farm and herd managers, and other agribusiness-related positions. With additional academic training, animal science majors may become extension livestock specialists, nutritionists, geneticists, and physiologists. The General Animal Science Concentration is a science-based degree program designed for students desiring a broader general background in animal science and offers students the greatest degree of flexibility in adapting their degree program to a wide variety of career paths. It offers a larger list of elective classes and opportunity to minor in other disciplines. The Pre-Professional/Science Concentration is designed primarily for students who intend to compete for admission to professional schools, advanced post-graduate degree programs, or other career paths that require a strong background and understanding of basic and applied sciences. The Equine Concentration is designed for students who desire a sound science-based background in Animal Science, but desire a more intense study of equine management and equine science. Students should consult an animal science adviser for specific course selections in the elective areas. With appropriate advising, students have an opportunity to complete at least one minor within the 0-hour degree program.
