We believe doing is a big part of learning. That’s why you get so many chances to tackle independent, hands-on research. You’ll have unforgettable, real-world experiences that reinforce your studies and further your career goals.

Experiential Opportunities

Animal sciences students expand their education and career networks beyond the classroom through internships, judging teams, student organizations, undergraduate research projects, and student employment. Short- and long-term study abroad opportunities are also available all over the world!
