The School of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences offers a minor in Animal Sciences. Th program provides students with an opportunity to gain hands-on experience while working with distinguished faculty in state of the art facilities. Areas of study include reproductive biology, nutritional and mammary gland biology, molecular genetics, heat stress physiology, and racetrack management.
School of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences
The School of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences (ACBS) brings together animal scientists, veterinarians, microbiologists and others to offer the strongest possible programs in research, education and outreach. This school was formed in order to offer more integrated research and educational opportunities in the animal and biomedical sciences.
