Animal Sciences and Industry (ASI) graduate students pursuing a M.S. degree in physiology will be exposed to a comprehensive, interdisciplinary program that may consist of multiple species including cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, and poultry. Physiology course work and seminars span across many areas within ASI and across related departments including statistics, biochemistry, biology, psychology, and anatomy and physiology. Graduate students have the opportunity to develop teaching skill sets by contributing to our extensive ASI undergraduate program, and many students assist with our state and regional extension efforts. Research expertise can be gained in multiple areas across physiology, including basic research in molecular, cellular, and tissue function, translational research in endocrinology, gamete function, embryology, stress physiology, immunology, and neurobehavioral mechanisms, and applied research in reproduction, health, behavior, and animal welfare. Graduate training in physiology prepares students for various careers in animal and biotechnological industries, research, teaching, technical services, consulting, youth and adult extension, and related fields of animal physiology.
