Program Educational Goals:


  1. Demonstrate functional knowledge and skills in host-pathogen interactions, nutrition, and immunology.
  2. Apply technical training in cell and molecular biology techniques in research, diagnostic, and clinical applications relevant to animal science.
  3. Demonstrate understanding of scientific methodology, experimental design, and data analysis through successful completion of an individual research experience.

Requirements for the Degree:


This non-thesis degree requires satisfactory completion of a minimum of 30 hours of graduate-level coursework.

Host Pathogen Core:


Essential to an understanding of the concept of One Health is knowledge of host-pathogen interactions in the context of their environment. The Host-Pathogen Interactions Core is a total of 9 credit hours of graduate-level courses, of which 3 credit hours must be from an ANFS course. 

Nutrition and Immunology Core:


Essential for an understanding of the concept of One Health is knowledge of how nutrition informs and shapes host immune processes. This core is composed of 6 credit hours of graduate-level courses, 3 credit hourrs of which must be from ANFS. 

Research Training and Data Analysis:


This core requires the learning of approaches to statistical analysis of biologically-derived data. 3 credit hours required.

Individual Research Experience:


3 credit hours required.

Credits to Total a Minimum of 30
