BS in Animal Science - Science Option-Pre Veterinary Emphasis, B.S.
CRED in Agriculture Specialist Credential
MN in Animal Sciences, Minor
MS in Animal Sciences, M.S.
Animal Sciences and Agricultural Education
Prepare for the future in agricultural sciences, technology, and management with a degree in animal sciences or agricultural
education. The Department of Animal Sciences and Agricultural Education offers options in agricultural communications,
teacher preparation, science, and production management. The science option has career specialization in the areas of
preprofessional (basic) animal science and preveterinary medicine. The production management option offers career
specialization in the areas of dairy science, equine science, meat technology and livestock business management. Courses
integrate animal evaluation, behavior, disease, environmental management, genetics, health, marketing, muscle biology,
nutrition, physiology, production, and reproduction.
The agricultural education major is designed to equip students for careers as agricultural communication specialists or
secondary agriculture teachers. Specializations may be developed in agricultural business, animal sciences, plant sciences, or
mechanized agriculture.
Instructional Facilities
Instruction in the animal science disciplines is enhanced through practical application at the various farm laboratory units
on-campus. The Beef, Dairy, Horse, Meats, Poultry, Sheep, and Swine units are maintained by our faculty and students to
support this educational purpose and provide a unique, hands-on learning experience for our students. In addition, veterinary
and physiology laboratories are utilized to complement on-campus education. A 4,300-acre livestock and range management
facility and another 800 acres of rangeland in the Sierra foothills are available.

Anthropology is concerned with everything that is human, in all parts of the world, both present and past. It is unique among
the social sciences in its scope. Most disciplines focus only on modern civilization or concentrate on single aspects of life,
such as government or the economy. Anthropology is interested in all human societies and views life as a complexly integrated
whole that is more than the sum of its parts. It is the human experience as a whole that anthropology seeks to understand.
The breadth of anthropology is reflected in its four subfields. Physical anthropology studies biological evolution and how
heredity conditions the ways we conduct life. Cultural anthropology, by studying the enormous diversity of lifeways
in contemporary cultures throughout the world, attempts to explain both differences and similarities in the way different
peoples carry out the process of living. Archaeology explores the human past far beyond the range of written records, using
specialized techniques to probe human prehistory. Linguistic anthropology investigates the nature of language and the critical
role it has played in developing our unique intellectual capabilities and behavior. The central concept in anthropology is
"culture," and it is this vital idea which binds the subfields into an integrated discipline.
Our program has three goals:
• to provide students with a clear conception of human variability and its implications, enabling them to understand and deal
with lifestyles other than those of "mainstream America;"
• to provide students with the broad intellectual skills that are essential to the widest range of professional careers;and
• to prepare students to use anthropological concepts in both applied and research careers.
