Bachelor of Science Degree

Interdisciplinary Agriculture

The Interdisciplinary Agriculture curriculum coordinated by the Office of Academic Programs is for students who have professional goals in the food, agricultural, and natural resource system requiring preparation which is not available through other School of Agriculture baccalaureate degree programs. While this program does have significant flexibility, students enrolled in interdisciplinary agriculture must identify a professional goal and develop a specific plan of study to prepare for it.
