Rationale:

(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the curriculum or program.)

 

After evaluation of the current major and its concentrations, the department was in unanimous consensus that General Animal Science concentration was not rigorous enough and the Applied concentration was dated in terms of required classes.  In addition, a true merger within the department of the animal science and food science units was deemed beneficial.  Thus, we request that the current Animal Science major  and its minors 1) general animal science, 2) animal biotechnology, 3) applied animal science and 4) preveterinary medicine be deleted.  New majors are being proposed.

 

 

Program Requirements:  not applicable

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog.  If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the present curriculum.)
