ROP VETERINARY SCIENCE

Students interested in a career in animal care will get hands-on experience with scientific reinforcement in this course. The class provides a more in-depth classroom and laboratory experience in the advanced phases of Animal Science. The relationship between animal anatomy and physiology, nutrition, reproduction, genetics and health will be emphasized. Students will apply that knowledge to the well being of a variety of domestic livestock, large and small, at the Vintage Agriculture Lab. Students will also learn how the sciences relate to animal production and management.

This course is an instrumental part of the Animal Science pathway of the Vintage Agriculture program, and is strongly encouraged for students seeking a career in the animal care fields. Earn five life science credits or ten elective credits per year toward high school graduation.
