If you are interested in gaining more specialized experiences in poultry science, you have the opportunity to take summer classes through the Mid-West Poultry Consortium Center of Excellence (COE). The COE Program offers strong, research-based poultry science education through 18 poultry science credits in two 6-week summers sessions. Problem solving and state-of-the-art lab training are integrated with industry field trips to complement lectures. All courses taken through the COE Program transfer to OSU for academic credit towards your Animal Sciences degree. Through the COE Program, you will learn about:
- Poultry Nutrition
- Poultry Physiology
- Poultry Health
- Breeder Flock and Hatchery Management
- Poultry Enterprise Management
- Poultry Products Technology
The Midwest Poultry Consortium also coordinates internships and job opportunities for COE students. All internships will be paid internships and will fit into the academic timetable for each university. All courses are taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with FREE credits (tuition is paid) that will count toward your animal science degree electives.
