    Online Diploma Programs in Animal Science

    Those who have graduated from high school are eligible to pursue diploma programs to further their career and professional opportunities. These courses of study can range in length from a few months up to a year and provide training in theory- or skills-based instruction and application.

    What is a diploma in animal science? Diplomas covering the study of animal science explore the structure, development, life patterns, and environmental relationship of domestic animals. Programs may cover generalized courses in breeding, habitat, growth, or exploitation of common domestic animals. Animal instruction may include animal nutrition, anatomy, physiology, genetics, meat science, or animal production and management. Unique specialization courses may include meat production, use of livestock breeds, ruminant or non-ruminant nutrition needs, and grassland management.

    Students with a background in animal science are often organized multitaskers and detail oriented. They are conscious of resources and understand budgeting with both financial and physical resources for the good of a company. They have experience with animal care, but the underlying ability to develop connections and relationships is useful for interpersonal skills as well.

    There are many schools offering diploma programs in animal science, and a number of them that offer their courses entirely online. For the scholar needing flexibility, a part-time or full-time commitment requirement might be a selection factor, and so is the cost of attendance. Ask your preferred institution for a breakdown of tuition and fees.

    Job possibilities with an animal science background are varied and may require advanced education or experience. The diploma program opens many doors and introduces career opportunities as a veterinary technician, animal control officer, zookeeper, or animal care assistant. Specializations could lead to specific areas of expertise as a fish and game warden, inspector, or agribusiness manager. Further education could lead to employment as a federal meat inspector, breed association manager, or research biologist.
