and entertainment. The course also introduces students to the
animal protection movement and animal law.
2. Animal Welfare and the Ethics of Animal Use (AGRO 315/ANSC
515)
A senior undergraduate/graduate course (first offered 1998) designed
to expose students to many of the ethical issues surrounding the
use of animals in agriculture, science, and society. The course
covers:
Scientific research that attempts to understand and improve animal
welfare.
Philosophical positions on animals use.
Relevant developments in society, economics, and the law.
3. Topics in Animal Welfare (ANSC 550)
A graduate seminar course involving reading and discussion of
current topics in animal welfare and ethics. Topics are chosen
to fit the interests of students, and may include the interplay
of science and value issues in assessing animal welfare, research
on animal cognition and its implications for animal ethics, effects
of trade agreements on the welfare of agricultural animals, use
of animal and non-animal models in research, and the relation
between animal welfare and environmental concerns.
4. Tutorials in Animal Welfare Research (ANSC 551)
A graduate seminar course based on critical reading of research
papers on animal welfare. Topics are chosen to fit the interests
of students and may include environmental preference research,
studies of motivation strength, the use of pathology and epidemiology
in animal welfare assessment, on-farm methods for welfare assessment,
and studies of animal "stress".
5. Individual post-graduate instruction in animal welfare and
animal ethics
The Animal Welfare Program creates individual graduate programs
incorporating a mixture of science and the humanities, on animal
welfare and the ethics of animal use. The overall goals of the
program are to help students, animal users and society to find
practical solutions and build informed consensus about the use
of animals for food, research, entertainment and companionship.

Course Title: Animals and Human Welfare: Medical, Moral,
and Social Connections
Instructors: Catherine Faver, John New, and John Nolt
Summary: This course offers a multidisciplinary exploration
of the effects of animals on human health and well-being. Beginning
with an overview of scholarly and cultural perspectives on the
relationship between humans and animals, the course examines the
benefits and risks of humans' relationships with companion animals;
the relationship between animal abuse and interpersonal violence;
and the costs and consequences of using animals as resources.
In exploring the interdependence of humans and animals, we will
consider the argument that fostering human welfare requires compassion
and justice for animals as well as for humans.
