Program Description
The Animal and Veterinary Sciences curriculum provides students with both a basic and applied understanding of the scientific principles needed for successful careers in the scientific, technical, and business phases of livestock and poultry production, processing, and marketing. Strengths of this program include extensive hands-on instruction at Clemson’s six animal farms, personalized advising, and the opportunity for valued-added experiences, including involvement in research, teaching, extension, international travel, and internships. Students choose from three concentrations.
The Animal Agribusiness Concentration prepares students for careers in the many facets of the animal industries, including production, sales and marketing, business management, advertising, and extension. The Equine Business Concentration prepares students for such professions as trainers, managers, riding instructors, sales or media representatives, breed association representatives or for equine entrepreneurial careers such as owners of tack shops, boarding facilities, or riding schools. The Preveterinary and Science Concentration prepares students to meet the requirements for most veterinary schools, graduate schools, and medical and dental schools. Students with South Carolina residency may compete for contract seats at Mississippi State, Tuskegee, and University of Georgia Colleges of Veterinary Medicine. Experienced preprofessional advising is provided for all students pursuing advanced degrees.
