Students may select an internship at any approved site in the following areas of veterinary medicine: large or small animal medicine, biotechnology, exotics or wildlife medicine, diagnostic laboratories, or marine animal medicine. Each internship requires 130 hours of work.

Internship of other pre-professional work experience in the field of animal science.

This course focuses on common domestic animals and their behavior. The interaction of the hormonal and physiological factors in animal behavior is also discussed. Ethological principles and methods are examined in lecture and field exercises. The recognition of normal versus abnormal animal behavior and prevention of behavior problems are emphasized. Animal learning theories and behavior modification techniques are also covered. An introduction to career options in animal behavior and professional organizations and publications is also included.

Students gain advanced experience in teaching all aspects of Animal Science courses. The learning objectives of AnSci 496T include the clear oral communication of scientific information, the formation of good pedagogical practice, and the design of assessment tools.

This is a stand-alone independent study designed by the student and faculty sponsor that involves frequent interaction between instructor and student. Qualitative and quantitative enrichment must be evident on the proposed contract before consent is given to undertake the study.

Individualized study with a faculty member. A poster summarizing the project will be presented at the end of the Spring semester on Science Day.

This course is tailored to the knowledge and problem solving skills needed to successfully maneuver concerns and issues that arise within the veterinary profession. It asks students to reflect on the knowledge they have gained throughout their undergraduate education, incorporating their general education courses and their animal science courses to develop solutions to current problems encountered within the profession.

Real-world cases involving management and veterinary medicine for large animals, companion animals, and wildlife will be presented. With instructor guidance, students will work to identify and solve problems posed by each case, while expanding their knowledge and developing skills in critical thinking, self-directed learning, problem solving, written and oral presentation, and teamwork. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-AnSci and BS-PreVet majors.

The course focuses on understanding and solving problems that have arisen, at least in part, from human-animal interactions. While these interactions frequently originate with the best of intentions, the consequences are often unexpected and not very good. Through reading primary peer-reviewed literature as well as web postings, students will acquire the specific knowledge, which, combined with information from their previous courses in their major and general education classes, will form the basis for group and class discussions.
