The Department of Agribusiness, Plant & Animal Science prepares students for many exciting and challenging employment specialties, and offers a wide variety of course work in agriculture.
- The close relationship between teachers and students creates a learning atmosphere that encourages the development of the finest students.
- Students receive excellent training from case studies and practical "hands on" experience provided by work on the University farm, Livestock Center, internships, and practicum experience. Facilities include classrooms, laboratories, greenhouses, and a farm mechanics shop, University farm and livestock facilities used for faculty and student research.
The employment opportunities for students with a background in Agriculture are promising.
According to employment projections from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 2,000 jobs a year go unfilled in agricultural specialties, for lack of qualified people to hire.
