MA/MS in Animal Sciences

This interdisciplinary graduate program centers on the health of domestic and wild animals, livestock production and the control of diseases that pass between animals and people. Students gain laboratory and field research experience under faculty from two departments. Applicants are encouraged to speak with a faculty member before formally applying. Partners include the state veterinary laboratory, government agencies, nonprofits and private organizations, and graduates move into veterinary school, research, feed companies and extension work. The page lists the Laramie campus as the place of study. The same page also covers the doctoral degree. Graduate students at the University of Wyoming work closely with faculty advisors, and the program is designed to prepare them for professional practice, further study or research careers. Prospective students should review the department's application steps and talk with potential advisors early, since the match between a student's interests and faculty expertise influences the experience and the funding options. Information requests and campus visits can be arranged through the program page.
