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.

The One Health concept recognizes that the health of humans, animals, and the environment is interdependent and acknowledges that a collaborative effort from multiple disciplines is necessary to solve the complex health problems facing society today. This transdisciplinary approach can be applied at the local, regional, national, and international level to achieve the most favorable health outcomes. Students in this course will analyze contemporary global health topics and integrate current and previous learning experiences to identify solutions to real-world problems.

This course is a 3 credit discovery-based research tutorial experience emphasizing animal models.

This course is an introduction to infectious diseases and immunity in the context of the basic mechanisms of the immune system. Topics include infectious organisms, infection and the immune response, and specific diseases of selected companion and production species. Principles of vaccination and preventative management are discussed.

This lab is taken concurrently with the lecture course ANIMLSCI 455V Laboratory Animal Medicine & Management. The lab covers learning and demonstrating hands-on the common technical procedures used in rats, mice, rabbits and other lab animals and the daily husbandry and care of the lab animal colony, including husbandry, feeding and health assessments.
