This course covers mendelian and non-mendelian genetics, molecular genetics, genetic mapping, developmental and population genetics. Emphasis on genetics in animal models.

This course provides an understanding of the behavioral mechanisms involved with human and horse interaction and a model of training based on equine behavior, ecology and learning theory. The welfare consequences of training and competing with horses involved in different disciplines are discussed. This course will help you to better understand how the study of equine behavior theory informs successful behavioral modification or training.

Internship or other pre-professional work experience in the field of animal science under the guidance of a faculty member.

Students in this course will study shelter management, species-specific animal husbandry needs, and behavior evaluation, issues, and enrichment in animal shelters. Shelter programs covered include infectious disease prevention and management, routine and emergency medical care, shelter and community spay/neuter programs, and disaster and emergency planning and response. Animal cruelty issues and forensics will also be discussed. A service activity for a local animal shelter is an optional component of this course

This course covers gross anatomy and physiology of domestic mammals, with a clinical focus for students planning to enter the veterinary technology field. Mammalian anatomy is approached in a functional and systemic way in laboratory sessions. Students use anatomical models and preserved specimens of a variety of species to study gross anatomy of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, urogenital, endocrine, and special sense organ systems.
