about University starting biology concentration focusing on agriculture and food systems
Do you like hands-on learning, especially when it’s outside, immersed in nature? Are you intrigued by the farm-to-table trend, or do you wonder what you could do to help fight food insecurity? Did you grow up on a farm and wish you had the business acumen to take it to the next level? A biology degree with a concentration in agricultural food systems can prepare you for the perfect career. You’ll take the biology, chemistry, agriculture and business classes you need for a solid foundation while choosing a variety of electives that reflect your interests.
Outside the Classroom
This concentration is project-based, hands-on and an experiential learning process. You'll spend plenty of time outdoors, in the dirt, in a lab and in the community.
