Scientists on the forefront of innovation continue to identify new ways that plants contribute to modern science. Students who wish to join those front lines may pursue an education in plant science—where they will develop knowledge of plant biology and physiology, development and evolution, biotechnology, crop production, processing and environmental management. Program graduates will have countless opportunities to use their specialized expertise toward discovery and innovation of all kinds—from crop management, to laboratories, alternative energy and/or medicinal research.
Are you intrigued and drawn to animals and their care? If so, a degree in the field of Animal Sciences may be an ideal fit. Animal sciences programs focus on the research, production and management of domesticated animals–from cattle and sheep to companion animals and exotic species. These degrees involve the scientific-based study of animal anatomy, biology, nutrition and health, while also studying their behavior, facilities and associated technology. In addition to classroom study, students can also expect hands-on experience working with animals on campus-based farms. Animal sciences students can look forward to making lasting contributions that will improve and impact the industry’s efficiency and sustainability.
