Proposal for
Animal Sciences (ANSC) Undergraduate Curriculum
Modification and Revision
Department of Animal and Avian Sciences
College of Agriculture and Natural Resources
1.
Summary
This submission is a proposal to revise the curriculum for the Animal Sciences
(ANSC) undergraduate program. The primary proposed revisions submitted
herein are as follows:
1) Drop one ANSC option: Avian Business (0104B),
2) Add a new ANSC option: Animal Biotechnology (0104F),
3) Rename existing ANSC options as follows:
i. ANSC 0104A to “Animal Care and Management,”
ii. ANSC 0104D to “Laboratory Animal Care,”
iii. ANSC 0104E to “Sciences/Preprofessional.”
4) Update requirements for ANSC Core and ANSC Options,
5) Add 7 new ANSC courses totaling 18 credits,
6) Drop 16 ANSC courses totaling 39 credits, and
7) Modify the VPAC course information for 14 existing ANSC
courses (reducing 3 credits from current 37/38).
2.
Overview of the ANSC Program
The current ANSC Undergraduate Program was adopted over 15 years ago.
There have been only minor revisions to the program since, and the current ANSC major
is organized into six listed options as follows:
ANSC 0104A – Animal Management and Industry
ANSC 0104B – Avian Business
ANSC 0104C – Equine Studies
ANSC 0104D – Laboratory Animal Management
ANSC 0104E – Sciences
ANSC 1299D – Combined Agricultural/Veterinary Sciences
The ANSC 0104E and 1299D options have exactly the same course requirements.
Accordingly, from the viewpoint of curriculum revision these two options can be
considered to be one option. However, there is a basis for having the two options listed
separately, and the reasons are as follows. These options were designed for students who
intend to continue their education beyond the B.S. through either graduate school or
veterinary medicine. The goal of the majority of incoming ANSC students is to gain
admission in a veterinary school. Accordingly, entering new and transfer students to the
1
2/4/2005
ANSC program overwhelmingly enter either in the Sciences (0104E) or the Combined
degrees (1299D) option. At the time of first enrollment at UMCP, approximately 90% of
incoming ANSC students consider veterinary school to be their goal. The required
courses in the 0104E/1299D option(s) meet the requirements for application to the
Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (VMRCVM) located at
Blacksburg, and through choosing appropriate electives, ANSC students can meet the
course requirements for all other veterinary schools. Accordingly, the required courses in
these options are heavily based in biological sciences and supporting courses including
chemistry and physics. The specific purpose for having these two options listed
separately, but with the same requirements, is that the 1299D option is a “combined”
degree program. This means that within the 1299D option, it is possible for a student
who gains admission to a veterinary school after 90 credits at UMCP to attain two
degrees (DVM and BS) with the last year of the UMCP baccalaureate course
requirements completed at the veterinary school. These students must complete all Core
requirements at UMCP. The 1299D option itself does not lead to a UMCP degree.
Therefore, the students not admitted to a veterinary school before completing the B.S.
requirements are transferred from 1299D into the Science option (0104E), in their final
semester at UMCP. This switch allows them to receive the B.S. degree. The 1299D
option plays an important role in the ANSC program in that it facilities the recruiting of
talented new students because it is considered by the students to be a “Pre Vet” option.
The ANSC 0104A, 0104B, 0104C and 0104D options were designed primarily to
serve students who terminate their formal education with the B.S. degree. Originally, the
Animal Management and Industry, Avian Business, and Equine Studies options were
designed primary to lead to employment in the commercial livestock, poultry and horse
industries, respectively. Maryland is still one of the top states in poultry production, with
a major broiler industry on the Eastern Shore. Dairy production also continues to
contribute significantly to the Maryland economy with a significant number of dairies
located primarily along the central and eastern border with Pennsylvania. However,
because of the dramatic increase in the efficiency and scale of modern food animal units,
fewer animal science graduates today become directly involved with managing animal
production units. The Avian Business option has never attracted more than a few
students. A number of Thoroughbred breeding farms remain in Maryland, and there is, of
course, an active racing industry. However, by a considerable margin, the majority of
horses in Maryland are kept for pleasure, resulting in a number of jobs associated with
the care and housing of privately owned horses. Today, the majority of industry related
jobs available to ANSC graduates tend to be in the service and support industries.
Additionally, a number of animal advocacy, government, research, animal industry, and
other interest groups are headquartered in the greater Washington metropolitan area, and
these groups employ a number of animal science students. The type of employment
ranges widely from research technicians/animal caretakers at institutions including (NIH,
USDA, DOD, Smithsonian-National Zoo, etc.) to information specialists in science and
policy and public relations (national headquarters, advocacy and animal protection
organizations, scientific organizations, etc.). The Laboratory Animal Management option
has experienced recent increased enrollment in part because of a growing, active research
community in the Washington area using animal models. In general the student interest in
2
2/4/2005
Equine Studies and Laboratory Animal Management has tended to increase as indicated
in Table 1. The interest in these programs, especially the Equine Program, is understated
by these data because the department had no faculty member working with horses for a
long period of time and up until approximately 3 years ago.
The proposed modification to ANSC herein is intended to update the curriculum
consistent with current career path tracks available to ANSC graduates. Specifically, the
proposal is to add one new option (Animal Biotechnology) while deleting the ANSC
0104B Avian Business option. The Animal Management and Industry option be will be
renamed Animal Care and Management, and the 0104D option will be renamed
Laboratory Animal Care. The goal associated with the changes in all the management
and care options is to educate students consistent with the variety of job situations that
are to be encountered by the graduates. Specifically, the goal was to provide these ANSC
students with a solid knowledge of biological principles while also giving them the
necessary courses in the application of biology as it relates to animal science. Very few
ANSC graduates today become employed in work directly involving contact with
livestock. Rather, it is more common for today’s students to find employment in a
research facility that uses animals. Accordingly, there is a demand for students trained in
advanced animal laboratory techniques (e.g., applied molecular biology, genomics, etc.)
who also have animal care expertise. The animal-related biotechnology industries
potentially offer a number of employment opportunities in laboratory, technical, and
research staff positions. Accordingly, this proposal adds an Animal Biotechnology
option and presents new course offerings in this area. To match ANSC course offerings
with the decreasing number of instructional FTEs and to attain greater efficiency overall,
a number of “old” courses are deleted, some current courses are reduced in credits, and
some courses will become offered in alternate years.
3.
Rationale For ANSC Curriculum Modification
A.
Teaching Faculty Contributing to the ANSC Program.
The ANSC undergraduate program falls under the Department of Animal and
Avian Sciences but includes teaching commitment from the faculty of the UMCP campus
of VMRCVM. Historically, the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences resulted from
mergers of the Departments of Animal Science, Dairy Science, and Poultry Science.
While these mergers date back to 1985 and 1996, the current ANSC curriculum still
shows a significant influence from these earlier departments. These influences include
the catalog listing of a rather large number of courses even though the number of
teaching FTE’s have declined. And the current ANSC listings include a number of
courses that no longer have faculty with either the time, interest, or expertise to teach.

Lacking in the present configuration of ANSC options are the courses/program
tracks needed to prepare students specifically for technical support employment in
biotechnology. There are an increasing number of advanced biotechnology laboratories
(commercial, government, and university) that have needs for persons trained in specific
types of animal lab applications. These jobs span across a number of areas. For
example, a student learning embryo transfer/manipulation in a zoo, laboratory or
domestic animal model obtains the needed credentials to also seek employment in human
in vitro fertilization labs where embryo manipulation skills are at a premium. Two recent
faculty members have been hired specifically in the area of animal transgenics and
biotechnology. Thus, the Animal and Avian Sciences Department has the faculty
resource potential for providing upper division animal-based applications and
biotechnology training. Therefore, this proposal includes the development of an option in
Animal Biotechnology which will permit not only direct entry into the job market after
the B.S. but also includes preparative courses necessary for continuation into graduate
education in these fields.

4. Impact of Curriculum Revisions on Current ANSC Students
The revisions proposed will have minimal impact on the current ANSC students.
No required courses are being deleted with the exception of ANSC412 (Animal
Diseases), and this course is being replaced with a new course ANSC340 (Population
Animal Health) that will include the topic of diseases. Two required courses ANSC
211(Anatomy) and ANSC220 (Livestock Management) are being reduced from 4 credits
to 3 credits. Overall, the proposed curriculum should give both current and incoming
ANSC students access to more total course topic offerings. An increased number of
ANSC courses will be offered only in alternate years, and this will require both students
and advisors to plan accordingly. Senior Seminar is added as a requirement for all ANSC
students.
Once the new ANSC curriculum is approved and in effect, current ANSC students
will have the opportunity to select to either finish their BS studies in their current ANSC
option, or else they can choose to finish according to the requirements of the new ANSC
curriculum.
