The graduate program in the Department of Agriculture, Agribusiness and Environmental Sciences aims to equip students with a strong grounding in agricultural sciences, natural resource management, and theoretical principles. The department focuses on fostering innovation through research, cultivating creative thinking in graduate students, and preparing them to thrive in a dynamic economic landscape.
The department offers three Master of Science degree specializations: Agriculture Science (AGSC), Environmental Systems Management (ENVS), and Plant & Soil Science (PLSS). Each program provides three track options: Plan I (thesis), Plan II (graduate project), and Plan III (coursework only). Plan I requires 30 total credit hours, including 18 in the major, while Plans II and III demand 36 hours, with 24 in the primary subject area.
For the 36-hour Agriculture Science (AGSC) graduate program (course-only option), students must complete 24 credit hours in core subjects (AGRI, AGSC, AGBU, PLSS, ENVS). Any course from the Department of Agriculture, Agribusiness, and Environmental Sciences fulfills the 24-hour major requirement for the general AGSC degree under the 36-hour program option.
