The Graduate Program in Crop Science is centered on our goal to become a global frontrunner in Crop Science education, knowledge creation, and practical implementation for economically viable and ecologically sound crop systems. We also aim to pioneer land management approaches that safeguard North Carolina's soil, water, and air quality.
Our Graduate program's purpose is to cultivate the next generation of Crop Science leaders, emphasizing advancements in crop plants and products, sustainable agricultural and urban production methods, and sharing expertise to benefit food, feed, turf, biofuel, and fiber producers and consumers locally, nationally, and globally.
Graduate studies concentrate on key disciplines including crop management and physiology, plant genetics and breeding, weed control, alternative crops, and the environmental effects of pesticides.
