Animal science includes programs on biology and management of food, laboratory and companion animal species. Students may develop an understanding of animal biology and discover ways to address local and global issues facing animal industries. This is a great field of study for those interested in animal management.

The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
