The Agricultural Sciences major trains students to be broad thinkers who are scientifically skilled and knowledgeable about biological and socio-economic issues related to agriculture and the environment. Our interdisciplinary program is for students wishing to pursue a general education in agriculture to prepare for careers that require knowledge of food systems and natural resources. The program's flexibility and "wide breadth with some depth" allows students to respond quickly to the fast paced changes occurring in agriculture today. Students graduating with an Agricultural Sciences degree are trained to address complex global agricultural issues of today and have a knowledge base that leads to employment in a variety of fields. Such careers may include the production and marketing of plant/animal foods, agricultural education in secondary schools, organic farming, cooperative extension, and crop consultation.

The Science of Natural and Environmental Systems major is a physical- and biological-science based major that addresses the interface of environmental science and human activity using a broad range of disciplines. The mission of this environmental major is to provide integrated rigorous instruction in four major areas of environmental science: biological (Ecology and the Environment), economic (Environmental and Resource Economics), physical (Environmental Chemistry: Soil, Air, Water), and social (Environment and Society). For more information, go to the Science of Natural and Environmental Systems website.
