From animal cloning and transgenics to reproduction and neonatal care to behavior and nutrition, our students master the science to improve the animal world. In a department internationally recognized for excellence in research and education, faculty focus on the cellular, molecular, and biotechnological aspects of animal science and production. Equine Studies offers hands-on learning opportunities in the area of equine science and management. The Department of Animal and Avian Sciences at the University of Maryland offers undergraduate students the opportunity to emphasize on horses while pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science. Students may take equine courses that explore a wide range of topics including anatomy and physiology, nutrition, reproduction, exercise, law, insurance, facilities, health and disease, pasture management, and more. Their courses are designed to provide valuable hands-on learning experiences to better prepare students to be future leaders in the horse industry as well as other industries.
