Bachelor of Science in Animal Biosciences

University of Delaware

Animal biosciences is a life science degree with the added benefits of extensive hands-on animal experience and the opportunity to do laboratory or farm-based research. Animal bioscientists answer questions related to how animals and animal systems function, solving problems related to producing healthy and productive livestock and companion animals. Students interested in the fundamental biology of any kind of animal will find this a focused, practical major with a variety of in-demand career options available after graduation. Graduates are prepared to pursue post-graduate, research-based degrees (M.S. and/or Ph.D.) in the animal biosciences. The curriculum includes an animal science core (anatomy, nutrition, physiology, health, disease, genetics and behavior) complemented by animal bioscience interest areas in animal nutrition, animal physiology and animal health.
