Agricultural Science Concentrations
Five concentrations in agricultural science are offered. The five concentrations are (1) agricultural economics, (2) agribusiness (3) animal science, (4) plant and soil science and (5) pre-veterinary medicine. A student can choose concentration courses from any of the five areas. The concentrations provide students with a well-rounded background in areas so they can be competitive in the professional agricultural workforce. Additionally, the concentrations create an excellent foundation for graduate studies and veterinary medicine. The suggested agricultural science concentration courses are shown below.
Pre-Veterinary Medicine Option
Students that are interested in Veterinary Medicine as a career choice are required to consult with the program’s veterinarian or Program Leader of Agricultural Sciences.
