Animal Science Degrees

A four-year degree in animal science prepares students for animal-related careers in zoos, stables, farms, pet shops and kennels, dude ranches, year-round camps, or research settings. Those planning to move on to Veterinary Medicine need to take the additional chemistry and physics classes that most vet schools require. A degree in animal science will show the veterinary schools admissions committees that you are serious about a career with animals and have the experience to back it up.
