Beef Cattle Operations - Certificate of Specialization
In these courses, students will learn about production, handling, and daily care of beef cattle to prepare for immediate entry into the cattle industry. The curriculum is organized so that courses will readily transfer to the UC and CSU system. The program gives students the necessary biology major transfer credits but is flexible enough to let students choose and integrate informal areas of emphasis such as a premedical curriculum, cell and molecular biology, organismal biology and resource and environmental biology into an individualized and varied lower division biology program.
