Undergraduate Foundation Program + Bachelor of Science - Animal Sciences

Undergraduate Foundation Program WSU’s Undergraduate Foundation program provides additional academic and/or English language support and personalized advising to help students smoothly transition to full university study. Students are unconditionally admitted to the university and graduate in the same amount of time as direct-entry students – they are just provided with additional support courses. Bachelor of Science - Animal Sciences The study of animal sciences encompasses a variety of scientific disciplines that explain the functioning of biological systems related to livestock and other animal species. Animal sciences applies this scientific base to the production and management of animals and includes the study of animal behavior, well-being, and husbandry. Products resulting from the care and management of livestock (meat, milk, and fiber) are integral components within the field of animal sciences. In addition, there are many important animal contributions to society that benefit animals and humankind, such as recreation (horseback riding, fishing), companionship and therapy (dogs, cats, horses), and biomedical research. As an animal sciences student at Washington State University, students will gain in-depth knowledge into the relationship between humans and animals, and have the necessary training to make an impact in the agricultural, business, or research industries.
