The knowledge of animal anatomy, physiology, diseases, nutritional and health maintenance, and welfare forms a strong career foundation for a Veterinary Science major. Graduates in Veterinary Science may continue their studies in veterinary school to become veterinarians, or they may work in the veterinary field as assistants, in animal welfare and adoption organizations, in film and television, or in feed production or livestock agriculture. This major is also excellent preparation for medical, dentistry, or pharmacy school or graduate studies in Animal Sciences.

This program applies the biomedical sciences to the health and welfare of animals and studies the public health aspects of human-animal relationships. Students explore human-animal relationships; animal reproduction, anatomy and physiology; the care of animal populations; microbiology; disease ecology and pathology.
