Students develop technical and leadership skills necessary for an effective career in addressing and solving real-world food and agricultural issues. By integrating animal science, plant and soil science, agricultural economics, and agricultural education into one program, students experience a transdisciplinary approach to research and education concerning land use strategies, crop and animal production, distribution, sales, economics, policy, and the environment. <br>The Department of Agricultural Sciences provides an enriched learning environment for a diverse body of graduate students and prepares them for careers in agriculture-related fields at the state, national and international levels. The department conducts multidisciplinary research and provides services that enhance the livelihood of farming communities and improve food security.<br>Based on a multidisciplinary approach, the Master of Science (M.S.) degree with a major in Integrated Agricultural Sciences will expose students to the breadth of agriculture, and provide opportunities for them to integrate what they learn across different courses. Students will be able to enhance their depth of knowledge in the focus area of their choice: agricultural business, economics and policy; agricultural education; animal science; or crop and soil science. Graduates will develop a 21st century expertise with theoretical and practical skills necessary to analyze, optimize, and apply their knowledge to complex agro-systems. The rigorous interdisciplinary agriculture curriculum will provide exposure to real-world applications, for students to develop technical and leadership skills necessary for an effective career in addressing and solving food and agricultural issues.
