Applied Animal Science A.A.S.

An associate's degree in Applied Animal Science provides students with hands-on practical skills combined with knowledge and understanding of the latest technology. The core program provides a solid background in anatomy, physiology, nutrition, health, and animal breeding. In addition, students choose a specialization in equine management, dairy management, or small animal care. Each specialization also allows for choices of elective courses in other areas.

Practical learning experience is provided at the UNH equine facilities and the Thomas P. Fairchild Dairy Teaching and Research Center. The Thompson School also operates its own grooming shop and biology laboratories. The curriculum has a number of animal-related educational programs, including an educational partnership with the New Hampshire SPCA in Stratham, N.H., and field trips to many animal-related businesses.
