About the Program
- Prepare for your career in the agriculture industry with this wide-ranging degree program. This is also the recommended major if you’re interested in going to veterinary school.
- Gain hands-on experience and conduct research at our 6,000-acre ranch. You can also join one or more of our student organizations, like the Block and Bridle Club, and try out for our intercollegiate judging teams.
Earning your ASU degree will open doors for you in several areas of the agriculture industry. The practical experience you gain will also give you an advantage when it comes to applying for jobs or graduate school.
Our graduates work in livestock production, ranch and feedlot management, as county extension agents, in the meat and food industry, and in many other fields. We’ve also had graduates accepted to veterinary schools across the country.
A Minor in Animal Science is also available.
Program Faculty
Our award-winning faculty are also industry professionals ready to teach you the latest trends and techniques. You’ll also have the chance to work with them on research projects. Our small lab sizes mean you really get to know your professors, and you can always visit with them during their office hours.
