A wealth of research opportunities at the University of Arkansas
With meat scientists in both the Departments of Animal Science and Poultry Science, the University of Arkansas can offer students a diverse meat science experience in course load and research. Such diversity gives students the opportunity to learn all aspects of meat science from pre-harvest to cookery.
At the U of A, students have a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in meat science through undergraduate research. This allows students a chance to ‘get their feet wet’ in research without the commitment of graduate school. Research opportunities engage the students in the research process from ideation to data collection and reporting. Previous undergraduate research projects have included: the only independent university study on the effects lean finely-textured beef on ground beef quality; as well as bacon quality and meat color measurement techniques.
