Agricultural Science & Economics (Dual)
This dual degree program will allow students to combine a passion for providing for the world through agriculture with a powerful understanding of markets, trade, statistics, and solutions to resource allocation problems.
Agricultural Science
Focuses on plant science, animal science, agribusiness, soil and water resource management, and agriculture education.
Prepares students for in-demand careers in agriculture, including in business, management, economics and production.
Biochemistry and molecular biology
Students study how chemical processes affect cells – the building blocks of all life on earth.
Equips students with current biochemical research skills to fight against diseases, feed the world and educate the next generation of scientists.
Biotechnology
Merges biological processes with advanced technologies to attack some of the world’s biggest challenges.
Provides students with hands-on access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and unique internship opportunities in the biotechnology industry.
Environmental Science
Interdisciplinary major that combines a strong foundation in basic science (chemistry, biology, geology) with unique environmental specializations, from localized pollution to global policy.
Prepares students for careers solving critical environmental challenges with cutting-edge research.
Environmental Science specialization in Sustainable Outdoor Recreation Management
The program emphasizes sustainability and stewardship of our natural resources. The program combines existing courses in environmental science and business with four courses to prepare students for careers in Â鶹ӳ»’s outdoor-based tourism industry. This specialization provides students with a broader spectrum needed to help make both profitable and environmentally responsible decisions in careers in the outdoor recreation sector.
Forest Ecology & Management
Prepares students to manage forest ecosystems from a science-based perspective.
Students gain practical skills through coursework and extracurricular activities that prepare them for careers in forest ecology, management and conservation, working for government agencies, private industry, consulting firms and universities.
Â鶹ӳ»Teach: Agricultural Science
Dual degree prepares students to help fill a critical shortage of agricultural educators at the middle or high school level, while also earning a comprehensive and marketable STEM degree.
Students receive hands-on experience in crop and animal production and complete all requirements for state licensure in four years.

Nutrition
Students learn the science of food and nutrition, and how to apply this knowledge to improve human health.
With two specializations, the program prepares students to become dietitian nutritionists or to pursue a career in research, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy or physical therapy.
Rangeland Ecology & Management
Students graduate with the knowledge and skills needed to integrate information about plant communities, soils, wildlife species, livestock use, watershed functions, geographical information systems and land use policy to conserve and restore rangeland ecosystems.
Graduates are employed by governmental and private enterprises as conservationists, ecologists, land managers and natural resources consultants.
Veterinary Science
The four-year pre-professional program focuses on vet school preparation and satisfies the entrance requirements for most U.S. schools of veterinary medicine.
Provides students with intensive advisement, scholarships and a variety of hands-on animal experiences.
Wildlife Ecology & Conservation
Students learn methods and techniques to study wild animal populations, manage game and non-game species, and practice conservation of threatened and endangered species.
Graduates are employed by natural resource agencies, private firms and nonprofit organizations, with careers as wildlife biologists, refuge managers, game wardens and park rangers.
Agriculture, Biotechnology & Natural Resources Clubs
Student clubs and organizations provide a great opportunity to meet new people, learn about new cultures, expand your interests and hobbies, and make an impact on our campus.
Tribal Student Program
A program designed to recruit, retain, and graduate American Indian/Alaska Native students in the Agricultural Sciences.
