The Agricultural Sciences Program is an undergraduate studies program that provides maximum flexibility in designing and structuring a course of study to meet the students' individual needs. Agricultural Sciences should be seriously considered by students desiring programs of study not currently available in any other agricultural subject matter department (such as those involving a minor in communications, recreation, or environmental studies in agriculture); students wishing to pursue two or more areas of specialization (such as students who are returning to farms or ranches and who need substantial background, for example, in animal science, crops, and agricultural business management); students preparing for leadership positions in agriculture that require excellent communication and leadership skills as well as breadth of agricultural background (such as agriculture teachers, lobbyists, commodity liaison persons or extension staff); or students who have not selected a departmental major in the College of Agricultural Sciences but who know they are interested in an agricultural career.

The goal of the Agricultural Sciences Program is to help students identify the agricultural career in which they are most interested and build a course of study that will qualify each student for his or her chosen profession. Advising is of paramount importance in this process and major emphasis is placed on career advising.
