Bachelor of Science in Agriculture - Animal Science

The Animal Science major at Texas State University offers coursework in all aspects of the livestock and poultry industries including commercial production and management; food processing; animal nutrition and health; biotechnology and pre-veterinary studies.

The pre-veterinary concentration satisfies all necessary pre-requisites required for many veterinary schools, including Texas A&M University.

Students in both Animal Science tracks have the opportunity to gain experience that will prepare them for careers in animal science. Numerous courses offer hands-on experience with livestock at the Freeman Center, Texas State University’s working farm and ranch used for educational, outreach and research purposes. Involvement and volunteering with faculty research projects exposes students to additional career opportunities and hands-on experiences in the Animal Science field.
