The short course will provide participants a broad understanding of how the modern United States poultry industry operates, an opportunity to interact with some of the top poultry science faculty in the world and hands-on experiences to reinforce classroom learning.

Field trips will also allow participants to view production and processing principles in action as well as interact with industry officials. Participants will not be experts in poultry science at the conclusion of the short course. However, participants will have a general framework of understanding on how the U. S. poultry industry operates. This framework of understanding will provide participants with the basis for deeper understanding of the poultry industry following the short course.

The short course allows participants to learn a great deal about the poultry industry in a short period of time, thus saving them the time, effort and expense involved learning via the "school of hard knocks."

Tuition costs for the short course cover lodging, laboratory materials, ground transportation, proceedings of the course and every meal except the evening meal. This structure will allow participants to focus on getting the most out of the short course rather than wondering about accommodations or food.

The short course is held in April this year at the Center of Excellence for Poultry Science at the University of Arkansas. We look forward to working with you and the course participants to provide a meaningful and enjoyable learning experience.
