The Department of Animal Sciences at Purdue University offers the environment,
faculty, and facilities to support and guide one of the finest graduate and
professional programs in the country. Students enjoy the excitement of
cutting-edge research in advancing the knowledge and understanding of biology
within species that contribute to the well-being of mankind. Purdue University
Animal Sciences' research addresses the uniqueness of animals as well as the
accretion and quality of animal protein. The program offers master of science
and doctor of philosophy degrees. Students completing these programs are
prepared for research and education careers in academia, industry, and
government.
We are especially proud of the many accomplishments of our faculty and their
invited participation around the globe. For the past several years, more than
one-third of the faculty have traveled internationally to participate in
programs and provide technical research support. In 1993, three faculty served
simultaneously in different countries as Fulbright Scholars.
Increasingly, the challenges are being solved through interdisciplinary research
efforts. In 1992, a team of seven Purdue scientists was honored in Washington
D.C. by USDA for their lean-growth research and were named the Lean Team. They
typify the research efforts now and in the future.
We appreciate your taking the time to investigate and consider the Purdue
University Animal Sciences Department as you deliberate where you will pursue
your graduate education. We are enthusiastic about the quality of our education
and the opportunity for students to gain hands-on research experience and
expertise. We challenge you to consider furthering your graduate education in
the sciences of food-producing animals at Purdue University.
