The Department of Poultry Science offers a major in poultry science leading to a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. The department also offers coursework for a minor and a certificate of excellence program.

A Poultry Science program at University of Arkansas is designed to provide the scientific and technical education to prepare students for positions of leadership and responsibility in the expanding fields of production, processing, marketing, and distribution of meat, eggs, and related poultry products. The curriculum also prepares students for career opportunities in specialized areas of nutrition, breeding, genetics, physiology, management, food science, immunology, and disease.

Elective hours allow students to select a minor and thus personalize their degree.

Elective hours can also be used to emphasize areas of business, production, processing or science. Pre-veterinary medicine, pre-medical, or pre-pharmacy requirements may be fulfilled while meeting degree requirements.

Curricula are designed to permit the student to obtain the necessary foundation to pursue graduate study for the master’s and doctoral degrees. Advanced degrees are offered but not limited to the areas of nutrition, genetics, physiology, product technology, and poultry health.
