Biological Science for Undergraduates in the Animal Sciences

Department of Dairy Science, Kansas State University, Manhattan

ABSTRACT

My purpose is to present a report of the Animal Science Action Committee, one of seven committees (Agricultural Education, Animal Science, Bioengineering, Food Science, Natural Resources, Plant and Soil Science, and Social Science) organized by the Panel on Preprofessional Training for the Agricultural Sciences of the Commission on Undergraduate Education in the Biological Sciences (CUEBS) and the Commission on Education in Agriculture and Natural Resources (CEANAR). These seven committees are to prepare reports on the needs of undergraduates in their areas for biological science and related physical sciences and mathematics. From the reports, a general report will be prepared that presumably represents all agriculture. For those not familiar with the two sponsoring commissions, they both receive financial support from the National Science Foundation. Both were created to provoke discussion of education in their respective fields. The leadership for their activities is taken by by paid employees who are doing an effective job.
