Veterinary Science - Minor

A minor can be valuable when associated with a major in agricultural education, agricultural economics, plant science, nutrition and food science, business, economics, computer science, rangeland resources, and in other disciplines where the animal industry has direct or indirect involvement.

The Veterinary Science Minor offers courses that cover basic animal anatomy and physiology, health and hygienic practices, clinical lab techniques, and topics related to current veterinary practices and issues. This minor is designed to enrich students' general knowledge in the field of veterinary science and provide hands-on learning experiences.  This minor is appropriate for students who are interested in working in production agriculture, veterinary assistant positions, or students who would like to expand their knowledge in veterinary practices and methods. This minor is not sufficient for students hoping to apply to veterinary school.
