University of Tennessee-Knoxville

Our mission is to provide high quality, relevant education and training for undergraduate and graduate students to serve internationally competitive animal agriculture, and develop and transfer new knowledge in the animal commodities that make significant contributions to the economy of Tennessee and the world. Academically, we serve men and women interested in working with animals through careers in agribusiness, production, Extension, technical services, veterinary medicine and research. Animal Science is for those interested in the beef, dairy, poultry, swine, sheep, horse industries, and even those interested in exotic, zoo, and companion animals.

Students can gain a wealth of knowledge in a variety of ways, both during course work, that includes hands-on labs, and with any of our student clubs and teams including, the UT Equestrian Team, Horse Judging Team, and Tennessee Collegiate Horsemen's Association.
