BA/BS in Plant Sciences

This bachelor's degree in agriculture combines plant science with soil management and is housed in the College of Agriculture. Topics range including crops, horticulture and soil science and precision agriculture technology. Students select between two emphases: Agronomy, which centres on field crops and cropping systems, and Environmental Horticulture, which links plant science to landscape and greenhouse work. Research projects and laboratory sessions give students applied experience alongside faculty mentors. The curriculum is 120 credit hours and begins in August 2026. Graduates can work in agriculture, horticulture and land stewardship. To enter, students submit the online application with a $30 fee, official transcripts and an immunization record. A minimum grade point average applies to new students, and a lower figure is accepted from transfer students. Admission to the university is separate from acceptance into some specific majors, so applicants should review the program page for any extra steps.
