UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH EXPERIENCES

Do you want to explore and discover first hand how research advances our understanding of animals? There are several ways you can conduct research in an area that interests you. We will help you identify research-based internships, honors research projects, and student employment (both on and off campus). These opportunities will provide you with the experience you need to solve real-world problems. The possibilities are endless.

The Department of Animal Sciences offers a variety of options for undergraduates to conduct research in an area of interest. Research is an alternative to class room learning that allows students to explore animal sciences from a hands-on perspective. Research contributes to expanded knowledge through studious inquiry and consists of investigation and experimentation aimed at improving our understanding of the biology of animals.

You can explore research opportunities in any of these areas:

Genetics
Growth and Development
Mammary Biology and Health
Management
Microbiology
Nutrition
Nutrition Management to Enhance & Protect the Environment
Physiology
Pre- and Post-Harvest Food Safety and Quality
Products/Food Safety & Quality
