Animal Science

About

The relationships among people and animals are an integral part of our society, economy and culture. Animals provide us with food, clothing, recreation and companionship. Explore the biology of animals to focus on modern, efficient and humane ways to care for and make the best use of the animals who share our lives. The animal science major offers hands-on experiential learning opportunities with many animals, including companion and captive, aquatic, livestock, dairy, and equine, to name but a few. Regardless of their career path, animal science majors will make a difference in the lives of animals.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

You will begin with courses designed to give you a broad foundation in biological and physiological sciences. In your more advanced courses, you will study animal behavior, biochemistry, genetics, nutrition, physiology and the integration of these sciences with animal health and productivity. You will choose a specialization in either a specific discipline (such as animal behavior or nutrition) or in the sciences as they relate to a specific class of animals (such as aquatic, companion or dairy animals).

English Program Requirements

A strong understanding of the English language is important to your success at UC Davis. If you have been studying in the United States for fewer than three (3) years and your native language and school language of instruction prior to your study in the United States was not English, you must demonstrate English proficiency. Meeting this requirement through the AP exam, IB exams or transferable college courses also satisfy the UC Entry Level Writing Requirement (ELWR).
