Chico is located in the Sacramento Valley near the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, about 180 miles northeast of the San Francisco Bay Area. Such proximity to major cities has attracted many students interested in veterinary medicine to the animal science major at California State University, Chico.
Fresno State Meat Science Program has been a major part of the Department of Animal Sciences and Agricultural Education at Fresno State for well over 40 years.
