At Sul Ross, we believe in learning by doing. Our Animal Science programs combine expert faculty, hands-on experience, and state-of-the-art facilities to prepare students for rewarding careers in the animal agriculture industry.

Undergraduate students pursue a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science with concentrations in:

• Animal Production

• Animal Science

• Pre-Veterinary Medicine

Graduate students choose from:

• Master of Science in Animal Science (thesis, in-residence)

• Master of Agriculture in Animal Science (non-thesis, online)

Housed at the Everett E. Turner Range Animal Science Center, our program features specialized labs in animal health, nutrition, meat science, and equine science, along with hands-on access to teaching herds, including registered horned Hereford cattle.

Graduate programs emphasize advanced technology and resource management, preparing students for careers in teaching, research, extension, and industry. GRE scores are required for the M.S. (thesis) program but not for the M.Ag. (online). Applications are accepted year-round.

Outside the classroom, students join a vibrant community through clubs like Collegiate FFA, Block & Bridle/Pre-Vet Club, Ranch Horse Club, Rodeo Club, and Range & Wildlife Club.

At Sul Ross, your passion for animals meets real-world experience and personalized guidance—equipping you for a future in animal science.
