AA/AS in Animal Sciences

Students in Animal Science build a general base in raising and managing livestock, alternating classroom study with time working directly with animals. Skills include caring for animals, selecting breeding stock, feeding programs and selling. A newer handling building for large animals and a feedlot support that practice. The degree pairs current production methods with computer, business and analytical training, concentrating on turning livestock into a profit. Cattle, hogs and sheep kept on the college farm let learners experience many parts of the work. Internships and judging teams broaden industry contact, preparing graduates for jobs in producing food animals, buying stock, feed companies, sales and animal health. Interested applicants can ask the college for more details, arrange a visit to the campus, or begin an application directly through its website.
