Bachelor of Science in Agriculture

This program aims to educate students towards a career in scientifically-based sustainable agriculture, to enable them to develop and effectively manage a self-reliant and economically viable agriculture-related enterprise and to prepare them to become professionals with social commitment.

Major in Animal Science

Students can specialize in the following areas:

  • Animal Nutrition
  • Animal Breeding
  • Animal Physiology
  • Animal Production and Management
  • Dairy Technology
  • Meat Science

In general, major students are strongly encouraged to take at least two (2) animal production courses and at least one (1) course in agricultural economics. These could be combined with other specialized courses.

Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Biotechnology

The BS ABT program aims to produce graduates who (1) exhibit sufficient level of technical competency, with social commitment, in science-based agricultural biotechnology and other; (2) maintain values and global ethical perspective in the practice of their professions and other related disciplines; (3) apply the acquired knowledge and develop skills in the application of biotechnology, genetic control and environmental manipulation technologies to improve agricultural production and maintain quality agro-ecosystems; and (4) work independently and/or in multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural teams of related fields, with minimal supervision.

Graduate Degree Programs

Advanced study in animal science equips graduates to handle key positions in government, academic institutions, and private companies. Graduates become employed as managers, supervisors, faculty members, researchers, consultants, practitioners, technicians. They also create opportunities for others as farm entrepreneurs.Those who have passion for learning, have intentions of improving animal productivity, and hold a BS or MS, is encouraged to consider graduate studies in animal science.

Master of Science in Animal Science

The MS Animal Science program is designed for students with baccalaureate degrees to receive deeper academic background and postgraduate training in the following sub-disciplines  of Animal Science:

  • Animal Nutrition
  • Animal Breeding
  • Animal Physiology
  • Animal Health
  • Animal Production
  • Dairy Technology
  • Meat Science

It is composed of 24 units coursework (15 units major; 9 units minor), 6 units of thesis, and 1 unit of seminar.

Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science

The doctorate degree in Animal Science is a highly research-oriented program intended for MS Animal Science graduates who would want to gain advanced knowledge on a particular Animal Science niche.

  • Animal Nutrition
  • Animal Breeding
  • Animal Physiology
  • Animal Production
  • Dairy Technology
  • Meat Science

The program requires 12 units of dissertation, 15 units of major courses, 9 units of cognate courses, and 1 unit of seminar.

With the academic background in Animal Science and in the chosen cognate, the PhD Animal Science program aims to develop the ability of the students to undertake independent and original research and scholarly work at the highest quality standards.
