Animal Sciences and Industry is a comprehensive unit supported by about 50 faculty devoted to research, teaching, and extension activities related to domestic farm animals species. Currently, the department has approximately 700 undergraduate students advised in the department and about 75 graduate students pursuing both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.

For graduate training, the department has animal research and teaching units located conveniently to the main campus. Those units include sheep, poultry, purebred beef, dairy, swine, and horse teaching and research units and the beef, forage, range and cow-calf research units. In addition, laboratories in both Call and Weber Halls contain state-of-the-art equipment that allow the student access to most analytical techniques required for their research.

Graduate training in the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry is organized within six functional discipline groups including animal breeding and genetics, food science, meat science, monogastric nutrition, physiology, and ruminant nutrition.

Students are selected from qualified applicants
after completion of the required
64 semester hours of pre-professional
requirements. To be eligible for an interview,
applicants must attain at least a
2.8 in the pre-professional requirements
and in the last 45 hours of undergraduate
college work. Any grade less than C in
a required course is not accepted.
Personal interviews are required of some
applicants. Applicants are evaluated on
motivation, maturity, communication
skills, experience with and knowledge of
animals and veterinary medicine, general
knowledge, career awareness, goals, and
leadership potential. To demonstrate to the
admissions committee an understanding
of the profession, all students interested
in applying to the College of Veterinary
Medicine are encouraged to have broad
animal experience and to have related veterinary
work experience.
Only those students who can complete the
required 64 semester hours of pre-professional
courses by the end of the spring
term of the year in which they are seeking
admission will be considered for admission
to the professional curriculum.
An application can be requested from July
1 to September 15. All materials, including
official transcripts and GRE scores,
must be received by October 1 for the
application to be considered.

The College of Veterinary Medicine was
established in 1905. Since then more than
6,000 men and women have been granted
the doctor of veterinary medicine degree.
Departments within the College of Veterinary
Medicine are anatomy and physiology,
clinical sciences, and diagnostic
medicine/pathobiology.
The college’s nationally recognized
instructional and research programs provide
the highest standards of professional
education. A rich, varied, and extensive
agricultural program in the area surrounding
the college, a city with many pets and
a zoo, and referrals from surrounding
states provide a wealth of clinical material
for professional education in veterinary
medicine.

Program Description
The program of study will prepare a student for entry into the Veterinary Medicine programs in area universities (Colorado State University, Kansas State University, Iowa State
University, Oklahoma State University and the University of Missouri.) The pre-vet student should complete a four-year major in Biology and/or Chemistry.
PRE-VETERINARY MEDICINE
Students are strongly advised to work toward a major in biology. The course work prescribed below covers the pre-requisites for veterinary medical school.
