Undergraduate courses in Animal Science, Equine Science and Veterinary Science and a Graduate Certificate in Captive Vertebrate Management.
In 2009, 18 Animal Science CSU students attended the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Undergraduate courses in Animal Science, Equine Science and Veterinary Science and a Graduate Certificate in Captive Vertebrate Management.
Our graduates develop substantial skills and knowledge in relation to the modern management of horses, underpinned by a strong education in science and scientific method.
I chose to study veterinary science at CSU because the course addresses the current shortage of rural veterinarians.
Next year I want to go to Charles Sturt University at Wagga Wagga to study either Agricultural Science or Veterinary Science. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to work in rural industries. Now I have the chance stating at CSU.
