动物科学系的遗传学和基因组学小组主要从事两个领域的活动：定量遗传学和功能基因组学。学生可以选择动物科学专业，并将他们的课程和研究项目集中在遗传学和/或基因组学领域。另外，学生可以选择在遗传学或功能基因组学专业中攻读动物科学专业。在这种情况下，主修课程和副修课程都将在学生的毕业成绩单上指定。博士学位 在动物科学中的学生象征着一个学生在没有监督的情况下进行高级原创研究和学术工作的能力。该学位是根据学生在专业领域的综合知识和奖学金证明而授予的。学生必须撰写一篇论文，报告原始调查的结果，并通过一系列在专业领域和相
The genetics and genomics group in the Department of Animal Science maintains two major areas of activities: quantitative genetics and functional genomics. Students can select to major in animal science and focus their coursework and research project in the genetics andor genomics area. Alternatively, students can choose to pursue a major in animal science with a co-major in genetics or functional genomics. In this case, both the major and co-major programs will be designated on the student’s graduate transcript. A Ph.D. in Animal Science symbolizes a student’s ability to conduct high-level original research and scholarly work without supervision. The degree is granted upon the student’s demonstration of a comprehensive knowledge and scholarship in a specialized field of study. The student is required to write a dissertation reporting the results of an original investigation, pass a series of preliminary comprehensive examinations in the field of specialization and related areas of knowledge, and successfully defend the dissertation. The Department of Animal Science offers top-tier teaching, research and extension programs that help our faculty and students address critical issues facing the animal industry — here and around the world. We develop knowledge that improves the efficiency and sustainability of animal agriculture, biomedical science and animal management.
