It is not a requirement for transfer but may give students an admission advantage at some CSU campuses. Not all CSU campuses accept this degree as fulfillment of lower-di\u0002vision major requirements. Students should meet with a counselor to determine if this degree is a good option for them. Informa\u0002tion on which CSU campuses accept this degree can be found at https://adegreewithaguarantee.com/ PROGRAM INFORMATION An Animal Science major prepares students for careers in animal production, animal agriculture, and biotechnology. Animal Science includes a foundation in the sciences and the study of animals that produce food. Animal Science covers a broad range of topics includ\u0002ing animal husbandry, animal production, animal nutrition, animal welfare, reproduction practices, basic veterinary skills, concepts in herd health, biosecurity practices, and farm management. The goal of the Associate of Science for Transfer Degree in Animal Science degree is to provide students with a basic understanding of the field of Animal Science and a strong academic foundation in this field that would allow them to engage in upper-division coursework at a California State University campus. Thus, this Associate of Science Degree for Transfer degree prepares students to continue their education at a California State University campus and pursue a baccalaureate degree. To complete the degree, students must fulfill the following Associate Degree for Transfer requirements (pursuant to SB1440): • Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to a California State University. • The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education - Breadth Requirements. • A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district. • Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. • A grade of \"C\" or better (or \"P\" if the course is taken on a pass/ no pass basis) in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. Note: Complete either the CSU GE or IGETC general education pattern. Effective Fall 2017, CSU GE Areas A1, A2, A3 and B4 must be completed with a grade of \"C-\" or higher per CSU EO 1100. All courses applied toward IGETC must be completed with a \"C\" or higher per the IGETC Standards. PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of this program, students will: • Compare and contrast animal-related industries on a regional, national, and global level, and will be able to analyze them in a legal and political context. • Compare and contrast species and breed differences in such crit\u0002ical areas as nutritional requirements, genetics, health, reproduc\u0002tion, animal welfare, and general management. • Describe fundamental economic principles and their application to animal industries. • Demonstrate a basic understanding of the chemical and physical makeup of animals that comprises animal biology.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:8311c378-90c1-440a-b171-2a0db87ac54f"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"2018-08-01","ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://programmapper.piercecollege.edu/academics","ceterms:estimatedDuration":[{"@type":"ceterms:DurationProfile","ceterms:exactDuration":"P20M"}],"ceterms:availabilityListing":["https://www.piercecollege.edu"],"ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:instructionalProgramType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/Default.aspx?y=55","ceterms:targetNode":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=56\u0026cip=01.0302","ceterms:codedNotation":"01.0302","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Classification of Instructional Programs"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Animal/Livestock Husbandry and Production"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"A program that prepares individuals to select, breed, care for, process, and market livestock and small farm animals.
