Animals interest students and they would like to learn about them in a hands-on, science-based curriculum under knowledgeable and friendly faculty, consider Animal Science at Middle Tennessee State University. Students explore the science, performance, and business of domestic food, fiber, and companion animal species, including beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, horses, goats, swine, poultry, and companion animals. Included also are disciplines such as nutrition, reproduction, genetics, behavior, meat science, management, health, and biotechnology. Animal Science students have the opportunity to “learn by doing” working with herds of beef cattle, swine, and dairy cattle at farm laboratories. In addition, several extracurricular animal-related student organizations, including the Block and Bridle Club, the Dairy Science Club, and the Pre-Vet Society provide unparalleled opportunities for involvement.
