Course Requirements

Students in this major will intensively study principles of forage and range sciences, animal sciences, and management economics. Students will further learn through seminars, capstone experiences, and a planned internship. Integration of disciplines will be emphasized in developing production systems that will optimize economic returns consistent with management objectives, resource availability, and environmental health. Sufficient flexibility is built into the program of study to permit specialization in ruminant livestock, forage and range management, or economics, while preserving the systems orientation of the major.
