Agriculture

The purpose of the Agriculture Minor is to offer non-agriculture majors the opportunity to learn about agriculture and increase their employability by giving them practical knowledge that they can apply to positions in one of the largest industries in the U.S.

The Agriculture minor is open to all majors on campus at the Bachelor's Degree level. Prerequisites are required for some courses. Waivers to these prerequisites may be granted by the department based on prior related course work or experience.
