Overview

Program Description While pursuing their A.A.S. or B.S. degree, Animal Science students work with animals and learn the basic sciences of genetics, physiology, nutrition, health and behavior. Animal Scientists work with domestic animals and their products of meat, milk, eggs and fiber, as well as the companion animals, such as horses, cats and dogs. Graduates are prepared for national certification as Professional Animal Scientists. In addition to teaching, faculty members in the Department of Animal Science conduct research and provide public service to the citizens and industry of Connecticut. Animal Science research programs are vibrant and exciting with support from state, federal and industrial sources. Quality of instruction and counseling is considered among the best in the nation. Most Departmental classes are small, providing an excellent faculty to student ratio. All of the department's animal and teaching facilities are within walking distance of campus. It is the department's goal to provide each Animal Science major with a challenging and well-rounded education, including the opportunity for "hands-on learning". Over 60 undergraduate students are employed by the Department each year to care for our animals or their products. Furthermore, our faculty work cooperatively with many other faculties across the Storrs campus; at the UConn Health Center; at the Yale School of Medicine, and at other U.S. campuses and agencies, providing truly exciting opportunities for Animal Science majors while studying here. Students may participate in Professional Internships, the University Honors Program and in a variety of extracurricular activities. Opportunities also exist for student participation in International Internships for a summer, a semester or an entire year.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
