Prospective Undergraduates
Animal Science B.S.: The undergraduate animal sciences program provides students with fundamental and applied education in nutrition, reproduction, genetics, physiology, pathology, cell biology, and large animal management. Students can choose the following options to further specialize their degree: (1) equine sciences, (2) bioscience and technology, and (3) preveterinary medicine.
Dairy Management B.S.: The dairy management program is designed to provide students with solid training in areas important to the successful management of a dairy enterprise, for employment in related agribusinesses (e.g., pharmaceutical and feed industries), or for those wishing to pursue additional training leading to the M.S. or Ph.D. degree in dairy science or its related disciplines. Juniors and seniors enrolled in this program will be given complete responsibility for managing the UNH teaching herd with other students, thereby acquiring actual management experience along with their basic subject matter training.
Nutritional Sciences B.S.: The science of nutrition is the study of nutrients in food and the body's metabolism of these nutrients. As an applied science, nutrition is based on biochemistry and physiology, but can also include sociology, psychology, genetics, microbiology, pathology, animal sciences, and statistics. Consequently, the nutritionist often cooperates with workers in many different fields. The nutrition program at UNH is designed to permit specialized study in human and/or animal nutrition.
Medical Laboratory Sciences B.S.: The Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences. This program is for students who are interested in pursuing a challenging and rewarding career in analytical biomedicine. The curriculum for MLS majors provides students with a sound background knowledge in the biological and physical sciences and a quality education in specialized science theory and laboratory skills. As part of the undergraduate program, students have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience at clinical sites such as Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and PathLab, Inc. Students entering the MLS program can pursue a B.S. degree in one of two tracks: clinical or research.
The Department of Animal and Nutritional Sciences also offers minors in Animal Sciences, Dairy Management and Nutritional Sciences
