BA/BS in Animal Sciences

Animal Science at the University of Delaware is a bachelor's major housed in the animal and food sciences department. It gives students broad applied training in how domestic animals are fed, kept healthy, bred and managed. Coursework covers nutrition, health, behavior, physiology, genetics and reproduction, alongside the idea of one health, which links livestock, pets, wildlife, people and the environment. Animals are also presented as models for biomedical discovery. Graduates look toward work such as animal care education, zookeeping, equine management, and technical support roles in feed and animal health products. Students can also take part in campus organizations that raise and train service dogs in residence halls, and graduate study is open in areas such as animal nutrition. The program is presented on the university's major finder, where prospective undergraduates can compare it with other majors by college and subject and begin an application from the same page.
