The Department of Animal Sciences at Colorado State University focuses on teaching, research and extension, respectively. Recognizing that our students are our customers, we seek to provide outstanding teaching through nationally accredited professors that instruct at outstanding facilities.

The undergraduate programs are broken into three program areas: Animal Science, Equine Science and Food Science/Safety. The Animal Science and Equine Science majors are further broken down by industry or science concentrations.

We invite you to look at our facilities, review the courses offered, and finally schedule a visit to campus with a current Animal Sciences student.

Perspectives

Student

"I simply can't imagine another school or program that I would rather be involved with than CSU's Animal Sciences. The faculty that I have been lucky enough to work with are some of the best in the industry and there isn't any one else I would trust with my education. Outside of the classroom, I have gained practical experience in agriculture through participating on a world champion judging team and have made life long friends and future business partners through being invovled in several different clubs. Whatever your dreams, Colorado State University Animal Sciences can help you get there - Go Rams!." - A.J. Farrugia, Equine Science Industry Concentration
