Animal Science Curriculum
This high school agricultural education course is focused on science
concepts that are taught within the context of companion and large
animals. The course is approved by the University of Minnesota-Twin
Cities and Duluth to meet the general or biological science
component of the science requirement for university admission. The
course content was developed in 1996 as part of a graduate level
class taught by Dr. Roland
Peterson.
