arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

sorry had to get that out of my system.

oh well, at least we know now. thanks for checking that out, twelvetigers. let us know if they give you any answers to your querys!

i think i might take the purdue course?? anyone else thinking that now too, since we dont' have the OK option??
 
Isn't it annoying? I fully plan on bitching on your behalf. A lot of prevetters use those courses as a pre-req resource. I don't think they should cancel them, and I'd like to know why they have! I can bother someone in person this Tuesday if they are in their office this time.

Nope, those are not the right courses. For one reason or another, OKstate isn't doing the standard distance learning courses this fall. I have not gotten a reply to my email asking if they plan on doing "Principles of Animal Nutrition" or "Introduction to Animal Science" this spring, but I will let you guys know as soon as I find out!

I'm confused. When I look on the website I see Principles of Animal Nutrition, and my daughter just signed up for it in August and got the materials already.....so I would think it's up and running unless we're missing something!??!?
 
What site do you see it on? Can you post the URL? We might just be missing it. I'm sure the lady told me that it wasn't going this fall... if that was incorrect I'd like to tell her as well.
 
also taking nc state's course. definitely the worst online course i've taken. we have a test next week and i'm terrified. the information really is just a bunch of facts on pdf slides. omg.
 
I think a lot depends on which Nutrition class you take at NCSU.

I took Dr. Ange's class over the summer (a 10 week summer school course)--ANS 225--and found it to be very approachable. She was very easy to communicate with, the class was pretty well organized, and there were weekly quizzes or tests to keep you on track. It is only for distance education (IE there isn't a classroom section), so its really set up well for that type of learning.

It is limited to non-Animal Science majors, which was good, I thought--it was mostly pre-vet kids. I think that over half of the class made an A, with 4 A+s (out of 40 students). Basically, if you can memorize, you can do well in that class.

So, if you don't have to have your Nutrition requirement met immediately and can wait until next summer, I'd definitely recommend that class over ANS 230.

For folks reading who want to know, schools that want Nutrition, according to notes I made a few months ago:

Purdue - Animal Nutrition
Florida - Animal Nutrition & Animal Science (offered at FL in summers I think)
Tuskegee - Animal Science/Nutrition
Oklahoma - Animal Nutrition
Oregon - General or Animal Nutrition
Michigan - Principles of Animal Feeding & Nutrition
Mississippi - Nutrition "BioChemical based"
Western - Nutrition
Click to expand...

I'm pretty sure that Mississippi doesn't require nutrition, at least not anymore, according to their website.
 
And Texas now requires both Animal Science and Nutrition.

Anyone have recommendations for online Animal Science other than OK State? Just want to be sure I'm aware of all the options.

stupid question, what is specifically taught in "animal science"? The name of the course is so vague. Is there a difference between that and animal nutrition? i mean I see all those online courses above are called Nutrition. But I'm curious what the schools want when they ask for animal science and/or nutrition (or as stated above, Tx wants both).
 
Hey, anyone taken the Animal Nutrition online course offered at Univ. of DE? Someone mentioned it back in 2006, and for me (as a resident), it would be a good choice financially, but I was leaning towards the OK course bc I like the flexibility of working on it when I can and not having to drive in for exams!!

Thanks for the advice guys. I cant believe I almost registered for the NCSU course, then I read all the reviews and WHOA! Funny thing is I checked the grade curve for that class taught by Prof. Cloom and almost everyone rec'd A's.
 
Does anyone know if any of the online courses do online exams without a proctor? proctoring is very problematic with my work schedule

I've taken both Animal Nutrition and Intro Animal Science at UF as an undergrad and while some of the material does overlap a little bit they are pretty different classes. Nutrition focuses solely on nutrition (bet you never would have guessed that 😉) while Animal Science touches on nutrition slightly it really is meant to cover the basics of equine, cattle, poultry and swine operations. It goes over different careers opportunities in these fields, what the different operations entail, and just general knowledge type stuff about all four areas. The exact nature of these courses I'm sure vary some college to college (and year to year) but that's how it was when I took the classes at UF (nutrition last year and animal science the year before that).

Hello, and thank you for the excellent information on correspondence courses for Animal Nutrition! UF is my home-state school and requires both animal nutrition and animal science (total of 6 credit hours); so, a quick question: UF's Introduction to Animal Science is listed as a 3000 level course, while OK state's correspondence course is only a 1000 level course. Does anyone know if this will be an issue in the admissions process? I'd like to take both of these classes online. BTW, OK State's Introduction to Animal Nutrition looks like it will match up pretty well with UF's course, it's only Animal Science that's confusing me.

Any info is much appreciated!

Rutgers also offers an online animal nutirtion course:
http://animalsciences.rutgers.edu/undergraduate/courses/11067330w.html

I believe their classes start today and I think their add/drop period is the first week of classes.
 
I applied to UF last year and I took the Animal Nutrition and the Animal Science both through OK. The An Science was extremely easy (as it is only a 1000 level, I think). The An Nutrition is what I would call a writing intensive course. All of the homework is just answering questions from the book. If you don't answer them in a very detailed way, he will take points off. UF took both of those classes. I decided to take them both through the same school so that I would have one less transcript to worry about if I took them through seperate schools. Also, you have a year to complete them. I think UF will allow you to take one of the classes (An Science I think) the summer before matriculation if you are admitted.
 
Fantastic, just what I was looking for!! Thank you, thank you!
 
I took the Animal Nutrition course at Purdue and I really wouldn't recommend it. I found his presentation of the material to be very disorganized, confusing, and random. There would be random powerpoints, links, html lectures, and tutorials all over the place and he would try to explain math problems in words. He would have a review sheet at the end with things you should know for the exam and 1/3 of the material on the sheet wasn't covered in any of his coursework. Then you spend hours going through the discussion board trying to find the answers since everyone asks the same questions or you can post a question and he will answer you. However, despite all of this he is a very fair grader, is more than willing to answer questions with a very detailed response, and is pretty relaxed about when you need to finish the course. It is supposed to be a year, but if you need a semester extension, he will probably allow you to.
 
I don’t know if anyone is interested but I just got done emailing UFlorida about their animal science/animal nutrition prerequisites and they sent me a list of the following approved correspondence courses:

in my personal experience....

avoid purdue's class!!! i dropped it and lost the money for it (it was awful)

i completed kansas state's course and thoroughly enjoyed it.
 
For what it is worth, I didn't find NCSU's nutrition class that bad. It is definitely a ton of flat memorization of facts from powerpoints, but the professor was always really prompt in responding to questions or comments I had. And he's super friendly.

I can't say I learned all that much nutrition that will actually stick, but I got an A with not all too much work.

Hi Rileyroo,
What was wrong with the purdue course? What didn't you like about it?

Thanks!
 
I'm currently enrolled in the Purdue course, and I really like it. It's nice because you can do it at your own pace, and have a whole year to complete it. The professor is great and very helpful/prompt. The exams are super easy - just memorize the study guides for each test and you're golden! This course is also one of the least expensive out there. I'd definitely recommend it!

I guess it's too late now, but the GRE bio was really easy. Also if you look at the old scores (at least when I applied, I don't know what last year was like)..the score range for accepted students is pretty low in my estimation. Admins there even sort of told me that they don't totally know/have decided on how to value it's weight in selected applicants.



I hear you. I probably (and thought I did) do the same. I just remembered that it was kind of a big expense (out of state, no financial aid, etc). On top of possibly taking the GRE several times and possible study classes for that, sending transcripts, all the little supplemental fees that add up.....applying to vet school can make one pretty broke. I never really would have dreamed about not trying to take the Nutrition couse, but in the end I was happy with the way things worked out.



I didn't realize so many schools wanted it. i think I only thought it was OK, Oregon, and Purdue

It really is kind of a pain if you didn't go to a school that had an animal science program. I think a number of schools have really reduced the amount of nutrition they teach in vet school, so that's probably the reason.

Western doesnt require animal nutrition even though i took animal and poultry nutrition , applied animal nutrition and companion animal nutrition:idea:
However🙄 you can probably use it as your upper division @ Western because they require 9 credits of upper division and one must contain a lab.
 
Epic bump!!! (Seriously? From 2006? That's awesome.)

Since this has been bumped, I'll figure I'll ask if anyone has taken the Rutgers class. Opinions??

I took it. It was pretty good and seemed very thorough to me. The prof is super nice and fairly quick with the email responses. I learned a lot. The exams were well done. No proctor is needed. There were 6 total in the semester. I had about 3-4 days to do it. I usually just took a day and did the whole thing in about 5-7 hrs straight. The questions are all short essay format and are things that involve some thinking..so can't easily look up the answer on the internet. The book was OK (I don't have much to compare to it but I feel like I've had better texts) and theres a CD which was sometimes really useful and sometimes a POS.

Here's the course page:
http://animalsciences.rutgers.edu/undergraduate/courses/11067330w.html

My problems with it: The syllabus is sorta unorganized. She made a list with the days we should be reading material and then another with the exam days. There were a couple of small assignments she emails out that weren't originally on the syllabus. Without true classmates (people to meet face-to-face) it was hard to get a second opinion on a test answer...she doesn't answer questions pertaining to the exam during the time the exams are available.

If you have the opportunity to take it in the class, DO IT! I think the same prof teaches it in New Brunswick in a classroom. Let me know if you have any other questions...either about the class or Rutgers New Brunswick.

Hmm, thanks for the info! I'm taking a year off in between undergrad and vet school (could be more unless the ADCOMs smile down at me). I'm in NJ and very familiar with Rutgers, and would probably use their course if the schools (NCSU and UFl) accept it because of tuition being cheaper IS. I'm not adverse to taking the class in person, but I'm probably more apt to take it online, if possible. Six is a lot of tests! Haha, glad there is no proctor, that was annoying with a distance ed class I took through University of Delaware. I have a lot of time to take the course (or consider other options). Thanks for your info, very helpful!

Yeah the tests were a lot of work and took a good chunk of time. There's just about one every other or every third week. I received the IS tuition too, which is about $600 per credit (3 credits) plus the extra "campus fee" and "computing fee" etc.
Best of luck.
 
As many people have already said, this is an amazing thread. My university doesn't offer either of these courses so I've been trying to decide where and when to take them.

This has probably already been asked before (so sorry if I'm repeating it x_x) but, when is the best time to take this in your opinions? Before applying/while applying or after you've been accepted to a university which requires it?
 
Hey everyone! I had a quick question...I am in the same boat as everyone else here: I go to a small liberal arts school so animal nutrition being on the course list is out of the question. I have looked into taking it at nearby universities but alas not many offer it other than (maybe) Rutgers (over an hour ride for me) and another university.

So, I was also looking into online courses so this thread is beyond helpful!

My question is, do vet schools make a very clear distinction between say animal nutrition and equine nutrition (or companion animal nutrition for that)?

I only ask because a nearby university (10 mins) offers equine nutrition...I plan on emailing my vet schools of choice but I thought of putting it out there and see what you guys think!

Thank you!🙂
 
Has anyone taken the Oregon State animal nutrition course?
I think they only offer it in the spring or summer, which is too late
for acceptance in this cycle.
I am thinking about enrolling in the Purdue AN.
 
Don't know if anyone is interested but Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas offers a 100% online animal nutrition course. It is ANS 333 - Animal Nutrition. I looked at a course syllabus and it seemed promising to me because all of the tests are online. The only downside is that the course was over 1100 dollars for non-residents.
 
Anyone enrolling this month in an animal nutrition?
 
Hey All!

I took Principles of Animal Nutrition online at Oregon State and I had a really good experience. The Professor was Dr. Chad Mueller and he was great. Not only was he prompt in his response, but he was very knowledgeable.

Also, I think it is one of the cheaper options...and I know that was one of my main considerations 🙂

I'm taking Animal Nutrition (ASI 318) online through Kansas State (I think they offer a 100 level course too, but I'm not sure if it's through distance education or if it will meet vet schools' prerequisites).
ASI 318 is taught online, with audio lectures and powerpoints.
The text is not required (at least for the professor I have).
Also, the professor (Robert D. Goodband) is very nice and responds quickly to email.
Anyway, so far, so good, and I've heard that the Oklahoma course is not online (just a textbook), so this might be a better option if you want the information presented to you, but check on Oklahoma State, because when I called to get information about it, the woman said she thought it would go online soon.
Click to expand...

I just wanted to repeat that the Kansas ASI 318 course is great! Goodband is a very thorough and helpful lecturer; Kansas particularly is big on livestock and as such his course focuses on them, but Goodband will go off the syllabus and talk about untested material with dogs, cats, and even humans to give you a well-rounded experience.

Compared to the lecturer for their Animal Science course, who at one point did not respond for a month to e-mails and did not have a dedicated online course (he simply taped his class presentations), Goodband's class is extremely fun. All classes and exams for Nutrition are online with no textbook-related material (Animal Sci's prof requires you to be mailed your exams and mail them back when finished) and the quizzes and tests are extremely straightforward. If I hadn't mixed the omasum and the abomasum up on the first test, I would have gotten an A in the class, and I found it to be the more interesting of the two subjects if you have a choice (some schools let you do).

Even if you don't end up looking at Kansas, I really did enjoy Goodband's class. It is more problem solving and less rote memorization than other courses, though you will still have to memorize nutrients, and he actually seems to put in effort to make it a dedicated online course. I believe Kansas does give you a two-month deadline or so to complete a summer class, but I believe it's an informal one and according to the coordinator of their distance education you can take them as you need during the year. The cost was a big downside, however; I believe it was about $1000 for nonresidents per class.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Agreed 100%. It was around $900, and it is very easy, with the study guides. I just had a hard time finding a proctor (I found a local librarian to proctor my exams). Three exams, homework and a final term paper that are extremely straightforward, and professor is EXTREMELY helpful and very prompt with answering questions. I would recommend this course 100%.

As far as proctors, I think you can also get any administrator at a place you work or intern at to do so as well. They are fairly flexible!
 
Hi Guys,

Any end all recommendations for a good combination of a good animal nutrition class at a good price?

Seems like the range is about $600-$1000.

Looking at OK State right now.
 
Does anyone know about Oregon's Animal Nutrition Class? How hard was it? I am looking at going on a week-long trip during the summer I would be taking the class. In your opinion, would this trip be possible given that the class is not self-paced? Was the class focused on SA and LA? Any information would be helpful. Thanks

I think it's fine if you go out of town as long as you've got access to the internet wherever you are. Just to be sure, I'd Email the professor and see if you can get a copy of the old syllabus.

When I took Animal Physiology through Oregon State, we had exams online every couple of weeks and had 48 hours to take them. I think the exam opened up on Wednesday morning (ie 12:01a) and closed on Thursday night (ie 11:59p).
 
HEADS UP: The Purdue online animal nutrition course is going to have a dramatic price increase this summer - the prof just made an announcement online. He recommends that anyone intending to take it register BEFORE mid-March, so get your hiney moving.

I'm taking it right now, and so far so good.
