Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Animal Sciences: Science & Pre-Professional Emphasis: Equine Sciences Path] From University of Arizona

This degree encompasses science, production, marketing, research and utilization of animals and animal products in agriculture, entertainment and companionship. The Science & Pre-Professional Option includes not only animal science courses but also the additional biology, chemistry and physics courses required of students in pursuit of science-intensive/research-based careers, an advanced degree (MS, PhD) or admission to Veterinary School, Medical School or Dental School. Students choose either an equine-based focus or general focus in their animal science courses.

The knowledge of physical, pathological, and reproductive science, with a focus on horse physiology and management, prepares graduates in Animal Sciences –Science and Pre-professional in the Equine Sciences concentration to work with and study domestic and wild animals in research, protection, treatment, and business capacities. Graduates in the Equine Sciences concentration might work as researchers, field scientists, or consultants, or in the agricultural or race track industries. The Science and Pre-professional majors include additional science courses to prepare students for veterinary, medical, or dental school. This major would also be strong preparation for graduate studies in Animal Sciences.
