Animal Nutrition (Certificate)
To see more about what you will learn in this program, visit the Learning Outcomes website!
The Undergraduate Certificate in Animal Nutrition is designed to allow people to gain recognition for learning the basics of animal nutrition. People who successfully complete the required courses will learn about livestock, horse, and companion animal nutrition. Four required courses (12 credit hours) must be completed with a grade of C (2.0) or higher (a grade of C- will not count) in order to earn the certificate. Current undergraduate students at NC State University who are not majoring or minoring in Animal Science are welcome to complete the certificate. People from around the world who are not current students at NC State University are also welcome to complete the certificate. The four courses can be completed on-campus in Raleigh, via distance education, or in combination (hybrid). Upon successful completion of the certificate requirements, Registration & Records will update the student’s transcript and mail the certificate. The Undergraduate Certificate in Animal Nutrition is administered by the Undergraduate Teaching Coordinator for the Department of Animal Science.
