Overview

Students in the Animal and Veterinary Sciences degree from The University of Maine either follow the basic Animal Sciences curriculum, or declare a concentration in Equine Sciences, Pre-Veterinary Sciences, or Pre-veterinary Bioscience Medical Microbiology . The Pre-Veterinary Sciences concentration includes courses that are required or recommended for admission to Colleges of Veterinary Medicine in North America.

Learning experience

An important aspect of the AVS degree is the requirement for hands-on experience with economically important domestic species. At the University’s J.F. Witter Teaching and Research Center, AVS majors are given numerous opportunities to increase their competency with, and eventually manage, dairy cattle and standardbred horses. We consider the experiential learning at the Witter Center to be a vital part of our students’ education because it allows them to use their knowledge to solve practical problems on a working farm.
