The Department of Agronomy and Horticulture provides advanced degree options including M.S. (with or without thesis) and Ph.D. programs in plant and soil sciences. Agronomy focuses on utilizing plant and soil science principles for large-scale cultivation of essential food crops like wheat, corn, rice, and beans that form the backbone of global nutrition. Horticulture combines scientific knowledge with artistic cultivation of decorative plants, fruits, and vegetables. These specialty crops, including flowers, ornamental plants, turfgrass, and produce, enrich diets and beautify surroundings, typically requiring more meticulous care than field crops while being grown on smaller plots.
