The study of Animal Science is increasingly broad and diverse.
Employment opportunities for Missouri State Animal Science graduates
range from food processing management, pharmaceutical sales, feed
and equipment sales, animal breeding and management to production
farming, horse training and zoo animal management.
The employment picture appears bright for properly prepared
graduates of the animal science curriculum. Numerous national
and regional firms employ our graduates. Those who maintain a
superior college grade point average, are active in at least one student
organization and are willing to be relocated after graduation
have the best prospects for employment.
Academic Program
The Animal Science program normally takes four years to complete
and results in a Bachelor of Science degree. Animal Science is a
comprehensive major, meaning no minor is required.
Students who have completed most of the basic requirements and
have made some decisions on career goals may, in consultation with
their advisors, want to emphasize the basic sciences to prepare for
graduate school. Other students may want to emphasize business
classes to prepare for careers in the many agricultural businesses that
serve animal agriculture. A minimum of 125 credit hours are required
for graduation; this requires that students carry about 16 hours per
semester in order to complete studies in four academic years. Students
are encouraged to complete two units of mathematics, plus chemistry
and biology in high school in preparation for majoring in Animal
Science. High school preparation should also include a background in
speaking, writing and reading.
