The Animal Health and Disease specialization within the B.Sc.(Ag.Env.Sc.) program at McGill University's Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences is designed to provide a strong foundation in animal physiology and disease susceptibility. Students begin with core biological sciences such as genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry, then progress to advanced topics including physiology, immunology, nutrition, animal industries, and animal behavior. The curriculum blends theoretical instruction with hands-on experience on McGill's teaching and research farm, enabling direct interaction with livestock and participation in research projects. This specialization is ideal for students preparing for careers in animal health, veterinary medicine, research, or graduate/professional studies. It must be paired with a major, typically Life Sciences (Biological & Agricultural). Career pathways include veterinarian, animal health technologist, policy advisor, and researcher. The specialization also offers pathways to Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) programs through official partnerships.
