Program Information

  • All courses must be passed with a “C-” (1.7) or better to be counted in the major.
  • Courses over 10 years old will not be accepted in the major.
  • Students are strongly encouraged to consult their advisor before selecting coursework. Some courses are only taught one semester per year or every other year.

Program Prerequisites

The Department of Agriculture and Nutrition Science strongly recommends that students complete the following courses as part of their General Education  requirements, as they are prerequisites for required major courses. Students who do not complete these courses as part of General Education can potentially add additional credits and time to their degree.

General Education Requirement (30-37 Credits)


See General Education  for course options.

  • Core Course Requirements (12-15 Credits)

General Agriculture Emphasis (17 Credits)


In addition to the core, students will select a minimum of 17 semester credits to meet a specific interest or career goal. That goal may not be satisfied by emphasis areas above. Examples might include agriculture journalism, equine, natural resources, GIS/GPS, or international agriculture. The program must be approved by an advisor, department chair, and the dean.

Free Electives (34-47 Credits)

For a bachelor’s degree, students must earn a minimum of 40 upper-division credits (courses numbered 3000-4999). Students may need to select additional upper-division courses not included in their major requirements in order to reach this minimum. Please consult your Student Success Advisor for details.
