Animal Science | LBCC

Animal Science

LBCC is the only community college in the Willamette valley with an Animal Technology program. Drawing on the community as an instructional laboratory, you can access knowledge and skills to succeed in production livestock-related occupations and fields. If you’re already employed in specific agricultural fields, you can upgrade or add to your skillset.

Get practical learning experiences through hands-on laboratory sessions. Learn from our passionate, knowledgeable faculty. Enjoy modest class sizes, and find opportunities to join co-curricular teams.

Our graduates have been placed at universities including Oregon State University, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State University, Chico State, Fresno State, and Texas Tech University.
