This option is designed to prepare you to manage the daily operations of an animal facility. Graduates with experience in animal management find employment in zoos, aquariums, animal shelters, ASPCA, pet food companies, federal, state, and local opportunities dealing with animal control. Animal and veterinary sciences play a vital role in the management and care of livestock, companion animals as well as those animals maintained at zoos and aquariums and laboratory animal facilities. These fields of study inform our choices of general animal care based on best practices of caring for and managing animals in the areas of welfare, health, behavior, housing, nutrition and reproduction. During their studies students will design and evaluate strategies to address real world problems in these animal science fields.
