The agricultural sciences curriculum has three components:
1. general education courses that are required for all students at NC State University
2. a broad understanding of agriculture. Students complete coursework in both basic agricultural courses (animal or poultry science, plant science, and shop processes and management) as well as agricultural specialty areas.
3. Students must select two of the following specialty areas to study:
- Animal science
- Agricultural business management
- Agricultural environmental technology
- Crop science,
- Horticultural science,
- Poultry science
- Soil science,
- Feed mill management.
The typical student in this program will complete a program of study that includes communications, mathematics, economics, business, physical and life science course, in addition to a variety of technical agricultural science courses. Beyond the technical knowledge, students will learn leadership skills that help them learn how to work independently and as part of a team, communicate effectively, solve problems and understand basic business concepts. The primary focus is to provide graduates with the skills they need in order to be successful as teachers, as extension agents or as leaders in the agricultural industry.
