The Department of Animal and Wildlife Sciences is famous for providing its students with hands on experience. Our curriculum not only provides students with foundation knowledge in basic and applied Animal Science and Range and Wildlife Management, but also teaches them how to apply that knowledge. We emphasize the development of creative thinking and communication skills that will make our students stand out above the rest, and be true leaders in the profession. Students are exposed to the most advanced research and management technology through our award-winning professors and research units such as the world-class Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute. One thing is for sure – our students get their hands dirty…with experience!
