Build your skills with internships
Students in Livestock Production and Management complete a full-time industry internship. Ohio State ATI helps you find internship opportunities in Ohio and across the country. These internships help you explore careers before graduation while gaining practical experience in a professional setting. Students are typically paid, graded on job performance and awarded academic credit for internships.
You will also complete practicum, a supervised practical work experience at the Ohio State ATI Farm. During practicum, you’ll apply the skills you learned in class while working under the guidance of the livestock facilities manager. This experience helps you think independently, solve problems and build confidence through daily hands-on work.
