Student Information

Under the sustainable cropping systems emphasis area, 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 interests and career goals.  This emphasis area 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.


 

 

Advances in biodiesel by the department of Plant, Soil & Entomological Sciences was a factor that attracted me to the program.  "Research on biodiesel is just going to open so many doors there will be a big demand for jobs in the field in the future."
