This made me consider the swine industry

“This made me consider the swine industry”: How Pork Prospect, an experiential learning initiative for undergraduate students developed by The Ohio State University and the University of Minnesota, is inspiring the next generation of swine professionals.

By Pork Prospect team, The Ohio State University and University of Minnesota

In the world of agriculture education, few moments are more powerful than when a student sees a pig – really sees it – for the first time. Not just as an animal or as a future product; rather, as a symbol of an entire industry, a living link to a professional future they had never considered, until that moment.

Earn your M.S. or Ph.D. degree at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine

The University of Minnesota’s strengths in infectious disease, immunology, comparative medicine, and zoonotic agents will prepare you for success at the intersection of animal, human and ecosystem health. Key scientific fields are facing shortages of new graduates, and an advanced degree rooted in comparative veterinary medicine will give you an advantage to address long standing health issues.

Apply by December 1 for admission in the fall z.umn.edu/vetgradprogram
