What would I study for an animal science degree?

Answer 1

biology, zoology, marine biology.

but you must start off as biology most likely.

vet

Answer 2

It depends upon what a university considers animal science. At the University of Maryland and most other land grant schools, Animal Science is essentially animal husbandry (farm animal related). So if you are instersted in cattle, sheep, chickens, pigs, and horses or becoming a vet, that is an animal science degree. Otherwise, zoology is the study of all animals from a more detailed pure science approach.

Answer 3

I am currently entering my 3rd year of study for a Bsc Animal biology (Zoology Hons) and my subjects for the first two years were as follows: (those marked * were compulsory)
Yr 1
Biology 1 & 2 *
Environmental science/earth sciences *
Chemistry or Science Fundamentals(chem/physics/math/stats)*
Basic Computer IT literacy *

Yr 2 - ( an accumulative credit score is required of 120 at D grade or higher to enter 2nd year)
Animal Diversity *
Basic Genetics 2
Evolutionary biology*
Biometrics
Conservation Biology*
Ecology*
Plants, polution and global change
Extreme Biology
Reproduction and the embryo
Biological Clocks
Microorganisms
Science, communications &Commerce

Successful passes in the above subjects (C or better usually) gains entry to 3rd year and course specific study. The choice of elective courses is limited to your desired field of study, the ones NOT marked as compulory, were my personal choices)

Year 3
Ecology
Bioethics
Invertebrates
Experimental design (evolution)
Molecular ecology
Vertebrates
Animal Physiology
Parasite biology
Reproductive Biology
(ALL compulory for animal bio) **

Of course these are specific to my university and other colleges etc may have a different programme of study. Generally though, they will all be of a similar content to the subjects listed above.

Answer 4

Animal science.Lots of it...tom science

Answer 5

animal biology, Mamalogy, Animal Genetics, ecology, Evolution, Endocrinology. Zoology is my minor but I think you should do botany instead. there are more job opportunities.
