The agriculture and food systems program is designed for students interested in production agriculture, farm management, nursery crop management, or agricultural science teacher education. Students may focus on animal or plant agriculture within one of the three options: agroecology, animal science, or plant science.

In addition to the three options, students working toward science teacher certification should complete the minor program in education. The minor program is prerequisite to the application for a fifth year of studies, leading to a master's degree through the Graduate School of Education. See the executive director of teacher education (Waller Hall 209) for details.
