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 Breeding
  • Animal Nutrition
  • Animal Physiology
  • 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:

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

The programs 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.
