Animal science is the study of the basic principles of science and their application to the biological, economic and environmental aspects of livestock and poultry production, companion and recreational animals, and the processing of animal products.

The chemical physics program often has prepared students for graduate study and subsequent careers in research and academe. In this program, students receive a solid theoretical background in the physical sciences.

Searching for genetic information, the blueprint of life,through gene engineering The current flourishing of biotechnology would have been impossible without the establishment of the revolutionary technologies of gene engineering: cloning, base sequence determination, and gene amplification. The Genomics Course provides thorough instruction in key technologies, from the basics of gene engineering to state-of-the-art knowledge. Its goal is to train hands-on professionals with the "venture spirit" through basic research in areas such as the molecular analysis of plant information transmission systems using gene engineering technologies, immunological research focusing on antibodies, and investigations of the mechanisms by which viral pathogens manifest themselves; research and development of drugs targeting causative molecules by means of the genome and proteome drug discovery method; and applied research into areas such as a super-high-speed DNA amplification method combining gene engineering and nanotechnology, the creation of new virus detection technologies, and its application to DNA-based authentication methods.

Students undertaking this program complete the one year HNC Chemical Process Technology program at Forth Valley College, followed by guaranteed progression to year 2 of a BEng Chemical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde.

The chemistry major prepares students who desire to enter graduate or professional study in chemistry and provides the requisite education in chemistry for medical school, dental school, and other health-related fields.

Chemical physics is an interdisciplinary major which combines chemistry’s study of the composition of matter with physics’ study of the properties of matter and energy. Courses are drawn from the departments of chemistry, physics, and mathematics.
