The Colorado State University College of Agricultural Sciences includes five academic departments[2] and offers nine undergraduate majors with many concentration options[3] as well as multiple graduate degree programs.[4] People in the College of Agricultural Sciences lead research and design projects in food production, security, and safety, ecosystem health, landscape design, and human well-being. They also provide extension and participate in engagement in agricultural sciences and landscape architecture.
The college is organized into five academic departments:[2]
- Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics
- Department of Agricultural Biology
- Department of Animal Sciences
- Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture
- Department of Soil and Crop Sciences
Undergraduate majors
The college offers many concentration options in the following nine majors:[3]
- Agricultural Biology (concentrations in Entomology, Plant Pathology, and Weed Science)
- Agricultural Business (concentrations in Agricultural Economics, Farm and Ranch Management, and Food Systems)
- Agricultural Education (concentrations in Teacher Development and Agricultural Literacy)
- Animal Science
- Environmental Horticulture (concentrations in Landscape Business, Nursery and Landscape Management, Landscape Design and Contracting, and Turf Management)
- Equine Science
- Horticulture (concentrations in Floriculture, Horticultural Science, Horticultural Business Management, Horticultural Therapy, and Horticultural Food Crops)
- Landscape Architecture
- Soil and Crop Sciences (concentrations in Agronomic Production Management, Applied Information Technology, Soil Ecology, Soil Restoration and Conservation, International Soil and Crops Sciences, and Plant Biotechnology, Genetics and Breeding),
Students can also take several online courses offered by the faculty in the College of Agricultural Sciences and can earn undergraduate degrees in agricultural sciences online [5] including programs in:
