Courses
Each student must demonstrate proficiency in the four core areas of Animal Science and Biotechnology, Physiology, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, and Statistics. In consultation with their advisor and committee, students may select from the following list of core-area courses or choose other Rutgers or UMDNJ courses to establish proficiency in each area. (N.B. Twelve undergraduate credits at the 300 and 400 level may be taken and applied toward the degree.) In addition to core-area courses, students may select from an extensive list of other courses offered through Animal sciences and other university departments. See the graduate and undergraduate schedules for course availability.

Description of Endocrinology and Animal Biosciences Courses
| 16:340:508 Equine Exercise Physiology (3) McKeever |
Prerequisite: Systems Physiology (01:146:356,357) or similar introductory course in physiology or permission of the instructor A survey and critical evaluation of the current concepts regarding the physiological and environmental factors associated with exercise in the horse. Both acute and chronic effects with emphasis placed on physiological mechanisms and limitations. |
| 16:340:510 Neuroendocrinology (3) Sarkar |
The course provides a comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the interrelationships between the central nervous system and the endocrine system in the mammal. The course also provides the student with basic concepts and experimental approaches in mammalian neuroendocrinology including cellular and molecular actions of hypothalamic and pituitary hormones and the role of these hormones in controlling reproductive functions, body metabolism (e.g., obesity and diabetes), stress, growth, biological rhythms, drug addiction and immunity. Offered every other Spring semester (uneven years). |
| 16:340:612 Recent Advances in Endocrinology (2) Pietrzykowski |
Survey and analysis of current literature pertaining to endocrinology. |
| 16:340:616 Animal Pharmaceuticals: From Discovery Through Market (3) Rhodes |
An introduction to the processes of discovery, formulation, development (including safety and effectiveness), and registration of new animal drugs as well as an overview of the worldwide animal health market. |
| 16:340:701,702 Research in Endocrinology and Animal Biosciences (BA,BA) |
