Animal and Rangeland Sciences

The Animal and Rangeland Sciences Masters of Science Program will prepare students for successful careers in fundamental and applied sciences, agriculture, rangeland management. Graduates will be prepared to address critical regional and worldwide needs to sustainably feed people, care for animals and agricultural enterprises, and manage 40% of both the U.S. and Earth's terrestrial surface for multiple uses and values. Students may focus on various sub-disciplines related to animal science including: animal nutrition, physiology, genetics, health, reproduction, welfare, livestock production, meat industry and food safety. Specific areas of study within the rangeland ecology and management specialty include: riparian ecosystems, ecology, hydrology, restoration, landscape ecology, soil-plant relations, rangeland animal and wildlife interactions, grazing and habitat management, planning, management, monitoring, invasive species, and remote sensing. Graduates are needed to meet the needs of the agriculture industry from farm/ranch to plate.

Additionally, State and Federal agencies, consulting, non-governmental organizations, secondary/higher education/research, private landowners, and the energy and mineral sectors are seeking advanced degree graduates with skills and knowledge in rangeland science, and an understanding of the complexity of laws and policies governing public and private rangelands.
