Tarleton State University has a rich tradition in the pursuit of excellence both in and out of the classroom. Animal Science has always had a strong presence at TSU, with an overwhelming emphasis in pre-veterinary medicine. However, there is a growing interest in the area of meat science. With the addition of two new Assistant Professors and Department Head, Tarleton is poised and committed to developing and maintaining a solid emphasis focused on Meat Science.
Dr. Frank Owsley, Department Head, came from Auburn University and is excited about the growth in faculty as well as student numbers at TSU.
