Climate change and rising human population have increased the need for sustainable agricultural practices. The M.Sc. Applied in Animal Science with concentration in Sustainable Agriculture offered by the Department of Animal Science is oriented to undergraduate students inspired by concepts in sustainable and integrated animal agriculture. The Department of Animal Science is ideally situated for students who wish to put the theory of the classroom into effect in a practical agro-environmental setting. As one of the few remaining departments of Animal Science in North America with a fully functional farm at its disposal, students and researchers can take full advantage of our various animal facilities for teaching and research. Students in this program, 12 to 16 months in duration, will receive graduate training in applied areas of animal production with a view toward integrating technology and management in sustainable animal production with allied areas of agricultural resource utilization. Students will be exposed to different approaches to improve the sustainability of agricultural systems through specialized coursework, followed by a research project or internship.
