Students

Overview

The Department of Poultry Science encourages our students to get involved during their time at the U of A and take advantage of the opportunities available within the department and Bumpers College.

Poultry science students have the opportunity to join various clubs, teams and organizations, volunteer with departmental outreach and education programs, and conduct and present research in their undergraduate and graduate careers. The department also offers faculty-led study abroad programs through Bumpers College.
