 Animal
Science
The Animal Science curriculum provides students with a
foundation in biological and natural sciences, animal
breeding and genetics, livestock production and management,
reproductive physiology, livestock nutrition, and meat
science.
Natural Resources and Rangeland Ecology
This curriculum emphasizes ecological principles
to solve management problems. Coursework integrates knowledge
of rangeland plant, soil, water, livestock and wildlife
resources while cultivating critical thinking, problem-solving,
and communication skills. Field experience is provided
by using the surrounding environmental resources of the
Gallatin Valley and Yellowstone National Park.
