Animal and Veterinary Sciences
The Animal & Veterinary Sciences Department (AVS) at Clemson University in upstate South Carolina is a part of the College of Agriculture, Forestry & Life Sciences. Our department has been a part of Clemson's agricultural program since the early 1900´s. We have eighteen faculty, four Extension specialists, and associates assisted by a staff of eleven.
The curriculum in AVS provides students with a broad understanding of scientific principles and the application of these principles to scientific, technical, and business phases of livestock and poultry production, processing, and marketing. Hands-on instruction is emphasized, and students are given many opportunities to work with animals.
The faculty are engaged in teaching, research, and Extension activities serving animal agriculture.
