Under the Crop & Weed
Science option, students can study crop management, plant protection
and fundamental aspects of plant sciences. Many courses emphasize
environmental concerns, ecological relationships, and sustainability of
agricultural systems. Students interested in crop management gain
the necessary background to be successful in a wide range of crop
related careers in agriculture. They can tailor their academic
program in the basic and applied aspects of crop science to suit their
individual interest and career goals. The crop and weed science
option will prepare students for graduate education or professional
careers in cropping systems management, plant protection, agricultural
consulting, plant biotechnology, plant breeding and genetics, seed
production and certification, and weed science.
