Career Elective Areas

The curriculum for a bachelor's degree in animal science allows students to custom design their studies which will prepare them for the career of their choice. Students also have the option of completing a minor offered by another department in place of a CEA. In the past, animal science students have selected a number of minors. Students choose from nine different Career Elective Areas (CEA) to complete their curriculum. This flexibility allows animal science students to get the most out of their education at Cal Poly. Incoming freshman should discuss their choice with their adviser during their second year at Cal Poly, while transfer students should discuss their selection with their adviser during their first or second quarter at Cal Poly.

Students can select one of the following CEA or create their own with adviser approval
