The University of Illinois Department of Animal Sciences offers graduate work leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) in Animal Sciences and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Animal Sciences degrees. The Animal Sciences Graduate Program is designed to create leaders in agribusiness, academia and government. The goal of our faculty is to encourage and enhance each student's curiosity and ability to think clearly, critically and creatively.
The University of Illinois Department of Animal Sciences faculty is highly distinguished as measured by productivity in peer-reviewed publications, national and international awards, faculty-generated grants and contracts, and by their creative teaching, research, and extension programs. Each year, faculty publish about 200 peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, books, and invited papers, and are awarded approximately $3.4 million in research grants. Four current and former members of the faculty and two former Ph.D. students have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
The future success of our graduate students is fundamental to the continued success of our Department. Graduate students are invited to call on any member of the Department whenever they believe that one of us can assist in making their graduate education more productive and more rewarding.
