Welcome
The Department of Animal Sciences, with strong roots in the Land Grant tradition, has as its mission to improve the health and well-being of animals, including humans, through integration of teaching, research, and outreach.

Bartlett Hall Safety Plan
To ensure return to a safe and healthy workplace for all occupants following the University shutdown due to COVID-19, a safety plan for Bartlett has been developed. As the University's response to COVID-19 is emerging, these building policies are subject to change and will be updated to maintain compliance with the University and state of New Jersey guidelines.
