This concentration teaches students the principles and regulations behind certified organic farming, along with practical techniques for organic cultivation and pest management, opening doors to careers in agriculture, organic consulting, research, and related fields. Plant Sciences majors must fulfill college and program requirements, which involve roughly two years of foundational studies, specialized coursework in their chosen concentration, creating an ePortfolio, and gaining hands-on experience outside the classroom. Essential courses in biology, chemistry, statistics, and plant biology should be prioritized early, with transfer students advised to complete most prerequisites before enrolling at Cornell.
