The Animal Sciences program at UMD offers an in-depth study of domestic and agricultural animals, with a curriculum grounded in biology, genetics, nutrition, and animal behavior. Students benefit from direct exposure to research labs and animal care facilities on campus and can specialize in pre-veterinary, laboratory animal, or animal management tracks. With a strong scientific core and applied training, graduates are prepared for careers in veterinary medicine, animal care, biomedical research, and sustainable livestock production.
