This minor is intended for students from various backgrounds who wish to adapt their education to animals: dairy, livestock, or equine. Prior to enrolling in the minor, students must consult with the Student Academic Services Coordinator in the School of Food and Agriculture to select the courses most appropriate to their background and career goals, and to discuss any course substitutions which may be appropriate. Students who wish to emphasize equine classes including equitation classes should consider the Equine Studies minor rather than the Animal Science minor. The first two courses are required but almost any AVS course could be included in this minor.
