- who have already been on a university tour or made a previous visit to our department.

Between June-August, the Department of Animal Sciences will be scheduling meetings with students through in person visits only. Please register for a departmental meeting through this link. If coming to campus is not an option, but you would like to speak with an advisor or ANSC representative this summer, please email anscadvising@illinois.edu to set up a time.
