Why Animal and Range Sciences?

Our respected programs are designed to introduce you to a range of agricultural and natural resource courses and options in animal science, ranching systems, natural resources and rangeland ecology that serve as a springboard to many opportunities.

Our faculty and staff are dedicated to all aspects of the animal production industry, including livestock, water, range and pasture, wildlife management, nutrition, reproduction and meat products. Through engaging instruction inside and outside the classroom, we pass this dedication on to our students.

We place the highest priority on education and student advancement, evidenced by our robust curriculum, experiential learning, investment in facilities and laboratories and low student-instructor ratio. Graduates of our programs find meaningful careers that combine their interests, skills and knowledge.
