The M.Sc. Applied (Non-Thesis) degree is oriented to animal scientists already working in industry or government, to undergraduate students inspired by concepts in sustainable and integrated animal agriculture, to project leaders interested in animal resource management and to veterinarians. The program aims to provide graduate training in applied areas of animal production with a view towards integrating technology and management in animal production with allied areas of agricultural resource utilization.
All candidates are required to have a B.Sc. Degree or equivalent.
The requirements for this program are 15 credits for the project and 30 credits of coursework.
The normal program sequence is:
Fall, Winter ( Summer semester scheduled break), Fall, Winter (part-time, if required to complete course work and project),
or alternatively,
Fall, Winter, Summer, Fall (part-time, if required to complete course work and project).
International students must register for a minimum of 12 credits per term in the first three registered terms of their program.

As of June 2019, all students must choose the Sustainable Agriculture option
OPTION:
Master of Science, Applied (M.Sc.A.) Animal Science (Non-Thesis): Sustainable Agriculture
Program Requirement:
Climate change and rising human population have increased the need for sustainable agricultural practices. The Sustainable Agriculture option is taken with a M.Sc. Applied (Non-Thesis) program, and designed for students who wish to supplement their basic degree with graduate studies in animal science, with a specific focus on sustainability in agriculture. Students will be exposed to different approaches to improve the sustainability of agricultural systems through specialized coursework and a research project. The program aims to provide graduate training in applied areas of animal production with a view toward integrating technology and management in sustainable animal production with allied areas of agricultural resource utilization.
