Roadmap: B.S. in Agriculture, Sustainable Agriculture Concentration
|
|
This multidisciplinary program blends the contributions of a number of academic departments through upper-division core courses and four concentrations. The program encourages students to explore diverse approaches to agricultural production, distribution, and management in evolving economic and environmental settings. Experiential learning and applied research opportunities are offered through the concentrations.
The major fosters sustainable relationships with area community colleges through the implementation of a “2+2” program design. Individuals who have an A.S. degree or equivalent lower-division coursework in Agriculture, Agricultural Science, Agricultural Economics and closely related fields, and who complete the designated lower-division prerequisite courses, may participate in the program. Freshmen admitted to the major are dually enrolled in the university and an area community college agriculture program.
This Roadmap is a recommended advising map to complete the degree program in four years. Please consult your academic advisor as you develop your academic plan.
The program requires several lower-division agriculture courses. Most of these courses are offered on campus, however, one of the courses required (Introduction to Animal Science) can currently only be completed at a community college. Check with your advisor where applicable courses are offered.
