Students who
major in Animal Industries Management at the University of Minnesota,
Crookston, learn both the "hows" and the "whys"
of strategic and operational management in the dairy industry. UMC
provides a polytechnic education, a type of education that combines
theory (why) with experience (how). The dairy industry leaders who
serve on the advisory committee play a major role in shaping our
education at UMC to keep us in touch with the changing dairy world.
Students majoring in Animal Industries Management with a dairy emphasis
have access to the Northwest Research and Outreach Center dairy
herd housed in a 106-stall dairy barn with a modern parlor. Judging
classes, tours, Dairy Club trips, and a major consulting project
allow students to visit an additional 20 to 40 small and large dairy
farms while completing their B.S. degrees at UMC. An education that
emphasizes problem solving, teamwork, and communication skills,
and provides an internship experience anywhere in the world, makes
students highly recruited by employers upon graduation. |
