Extended Accelerator - Bachelor of Science - Crop and Soil Science - Turfgrass Track

The Extended Accelerator Program is a three-semester program for students seeking an immersive English-learning experience. The program gives students a firsthand practical and cultural understanding of the Auburn University campus and the Auburn, Alabama, area through its contextual curriculum. Upon completion of the program, students progress into year two of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits.

As a student in agronomy and soils, students will apply the basic sciences — such as biology, chemistry, physics, geology and microbiology — to better understand the natural foundation upon which our entire industry is built. Graduates of this program protect the natural environment while producing the food, fiber and resources that improve life for billions every single day.

The popular Turfgrass management option focuses on Turfgrass production and maintenance for golf courses, sports fields, home lawns and business turf. This academically rigorous option will also prepare students for graduate school or for a career as an agricultural extension specialist, sales professional or technical industry scientist.
