专业概况

Graduate education in animal breeding & genetics (AB&G) has a long and successful history at Iowa State University, from its early beginnings with the founders of the discipline, such as Lush and Hazel, through today's world-renowned program.

With a traditional emphasis on quantitative genetics, graduate degrees are offered in a broad spectrum of related disciplines, including molecular genetics, immunogenetics, and bioinformatics. Students have multiple employment opportunities upon graduation and are highly sought after for jobs in industry, research and university settings.

In keeping with the major's tradition of excellence and cutting-edge science, the AB&G PhD degree program has developed the capacity for specialization in quantitative genetics and molecular genetics. Both specializations put substantial emphasis on the integration of quantitative and molecular genetics, with further in-depth study of topics related to the specialization and allow minors or co-majors in related graduate majors.

Graduate research seminars and journal clubs are offered to expose students to research in related areas and to industry. This multi-disciplinary education program allows students to be better prepared for the full spectrum of challenges they will face in contemporary issues related to animal breeding and genetics.

Learning Goals that students in this program are expected to meet include:

Demonstrate comprehensive understanding of scholarly literature in Animal Sciences and related disciplines.

Form testable hypotheses and articulate research objectives that, when met, will lead to significant contributions to Animal Sciences and related disciplines.

Conduct qualitative and/or quantitative research via appropriate acquisition, analysis, and reporting of data and information.

Interpret research results appropriately, integrating them into the existing knowledge in the discipline.

Clearly and accurately communicate research findings using written, oral, visual, and electronic means of communication.

Conduct scholarship, in teams or with independence, in ways that consistently demonstrate ethical practice and professionalism.
