The ADVS Department provides training toward undergraduate and graduate degrees in animal science through classroom, laboratory, and field experiences. Our undergraduate and graduate academic programs are augmented and strengthened by the cutting-edge research our faculty conduct across a breadth of disciplines. Complementing our academic and research programs, our Extension faculty serve the needs of the State, Region and Nation through their outreach activities in their respective areas of expertise.
