Our faculty are engaged teacher-scholars with a strong commitment to student success, diversity, equity and inclusion. Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences : The Animal & Veterinary Sciences Department’s mission is to provide state of the art instructional and research programs. Our core values are to provide quality education by supporting diversity in our student and faculty populations, maintaining state-of-the-art facilities, a collegial environment, and promoting academic freedom. The department has seven tenured/tenure track faculty, fifteen part-time faculty, and approximately 1,000 undergraduate and 10 graduate (MS) students. About 61% of undergraduates are the first in their families to attend college or earn a four-year degree. More than 85% of the students are women. The student population is very diverse (Hispanic/Latino, 58.5%; White 15.5%; Asian, 14.5%; Multiracial, 5.5%; Unknown/Non-resident aliens, 4.4%; Black/African American, 1.5%; and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, 0.3%); this diversity is also reflected in the faculty.
