BA/BS in Plant Sciences

Plant production and soil science drive this bachelor's degree. Students pick between agronomy, which concerns crops grown for animal feed, fiber and turf, and horticulture, which concerns greenhouse work, propagating plants and landscape design. Labs, modern greenhouses, a working ranch and agriculture centers give students real field time. Early courses cover soils, propagation and crop systems. A teaching certificate path is offered for future agriculture teachers. Other graduates work in nurseries, landscaping, crop sales, extension and conservation. This offering is housed in the College of Science and Engineering Technology. Campus location listed for the program: Huntsville; format: face to face.
