A maximum of three credits of independent study in Food and Resource Economics and a maximum of six credits in all areas, including Food and Resource Economics, may be counted toward the degree. The Agricultural program requires a 2.5 minimum overall GPA, passing scores on the Praxis I test for all three subtests (reading, passing score=175; writing, passing score=173; and mathematics, passing score=174) prior to enrollment in AGED 480 and AGED 481, and proof of having taken the Praxis II test in the appropriate academic content area. A copy of the official score report must be submitted to the Delaware Center for Teacher Education, 200 Academy Street, during enrollment in EDUC 400 Student Teaching or no later than November 1 for January graduates and May 1 for June or summer graduates. An institutional recommendation for certification will not be issued until the candidate has presented the official score report. The teacher education program advisor should be consulted for other policies concerning qualifications for student teaching. A minimum grade of C is required in all AGED and EDUC courses and an overall major GPA of 3.0 (for all AGED and EDUC courses).

The Animal Science major encompasses a wide range of disciplines in which the principles of biology, chemistry and biochemistry are applied to animal agriculture. Instruction is offered in animal nutrition, physiology, genetics, and reproduction; in animal health and molecular biology; and in dairy, livestock and poultry management. The department offers four areas of concentration within the major: preveterinary medicine, animal biotechnology, applied animal science, and general animal science. Students interested in pursuing graduate studies in the animal sciences are well prepared by available course work and laboratory experiences. Students interested in veterinary medicine have the opportunity to obtain preveterinary training required for admission to veterinary school. The preveterinary concentration is designed to meet not only the department, college, and University requirements for the B.S. degree, but also the admission requirements for many U.S. veterinary schools. Students are encouraged to participate in a broad realm of animal science research projects in the department through independent study/special problems courses. An Honors Degree option is offered for all the concentrations in the Animal Science major. The Food Science and Technology major is designed to provide students with a broad understanding and professional preparation in the areas of food processing, preservation, evaluation, packaging, and distribution. Upon graduation, job opportunities include positions within the food and allied industries, government, and independent research institutions. The role of the food scientist in such positions may involve product and process development, food safety engineering, quality control and analysis, technical service and sales, with opportunities in regulatory agencies, education, and basic research. Students choose one of two concentrations within the Food Science and Technology major. The Food Science Concentration has a greater emphasis on the biological, chemical and physical sciences, preparing a student for research opportunities within the Food Science disciplines. Additional recommended electives can provide a student with the course work to pursue a food processing engineering emphasis. The Food Technology Concentration provides a curriculum which has less emphasis on the sciences; however, it allows the flexibility to choose minors in related disciplines such as Food and Agribusiness Management or Nutrition or to take courses in Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management. An Honors Degree option is offered in the Food Science major for both concentrations.
