Bachelor of Science - Agriculture - Sustainable Development

Agriculture is one of the most important areas students could choose because it addresses a basic human need—food and other natural resources. Because sustainable development encompasses so many aspects of the world, including the study of animal, plant, and environmental systems and natural resource management, the students can enter a variety of careers in business, government, and the nonprofit sectors, or go on to graduate schools or work for themselves. APSU's graduates work in a wide variety of sustainability related careers. These include but are not limited to:

Sustainable Development students are interested in many aspects of agriculture, the environment and natural resource management including: Plant and soil sciences, environmental science, forestry, conservation, pest management, beekeeping, geospatial technology and natural resource management.

Agriculture courses are delivered in small class settings with individual attention from faculty with experience and expertise in agriculture. Students have an opportunity for hands-on learning at the 440-acre University Farm and Environmental Education Center to study livestock, crops, forestry, wildlife and natural resources as well as internships and cooperative educational experiences.
