Located in the center of the Midwest, Northwest is known for its agriculture 程序. So if you're interested in pursuing animal 科学, you've come to the right place!
Animal science majors gain career-related experience the minute they step onto campus. This 程序 focuses on two main areas: science and experiential learning.
By 科学, we mean the anatomy and physiology of animals. Knowledge of these areas is crucial to work in this industry. Thankfully, your faculty members are experts and have years of experience in their back pockets. You will learn about hormones, nutrition, livestock disease and overall health.
You'll also have access to experiential learning to help you when you begin interviewing for jobs. Did we mention we have our own farm? 在 R.T. Wright University Farm, you'll learn how to complete tasks such as annual pregnancy tests on cows, castrations, vaccinations and more. You'll also spend a lot of your time in the Agricultural Learning Center, a new 29,000-square-foot building that houses many classrooms, laboratories and an exposition center.
If you're interested in becoming a veterinarian, you may consider our animal science (pre-vet) 程序. While this 程序 is rigorous, you'll leave Northwest with a grasp of anatomy, physiology, 化学, organic 化学, physics and histology. Learn more about this specialization below.
