Description
The Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Science provides students with a solid background in agricultural science. Students will choose programs that emphasize in Animal Science, Plant Science, General Agricultural Science, or Agricultural Education. The Animal and Plant Science emphases are designed to prepare students for agriculture related high tech careers in the private and public sectors. The General Agriculture emphasis provides students with a broad knowledge base that combines animal and plant production with an agribusiness emphasis. Students who successfully complete the program are prepared to compete nationally for admission to high paying jobs and graduate programs in the agricultural and life sciences.
