Undergraduate Programs
ANIMAL SCIENCES
Learn about production methods involved in the care and management of companion animals, livestock, and poultry. These facets address the production of meat, dairy, eggs, wool, and animal services such as companionship, work, and recreation.
RANGELAND SCIENCES
Study the sustainable management of rangelands across a variety of biomes, from arid deserts to mesic grasslands to tropical savannahs. The program takes an interdisciplinary approach to provide advanced scientific knowledge regarding multiple ecological processes and social drivers influencing rangeland ecosystems around the globe.
Graduate Programs
Our graduate programs provide research opportunities ranging from applied ecology and management of rangelands to laboratory animals, beef cattle, and exotics—like llamas. Learn basic research from the systems and molecular level all the way to the management or applied level.
