Agricultural Biology<\/a>\u00a0students acquire firsthand experience working with world-class faculty learning how to help solve the most difficult problems we face today in food production and environmental conservation.<\/p>\n The Agricultural Biology degree program offers an opportunity to learn how ecosystems function and how to protect them. The major includes three concentrations, encouraging you to specialize in a field of study that aligns with your interests and goals. You will share this experience with a cohort of students who will become your teammates in strengthening the ecosystems that we all depend on for food, fiber, and ecosystem services.<\/p>\n Together, you will become prepared to identify applications and put in practice the knowledge gained to solve today\u2019s biggest challenges.<\/p>\n The CSU Course Catalog<\/strong><\/a> has info on coursework and degree requirements for each concentration.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F1F1F1″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Squiggle – Centered” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” min_height=”15.8px” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_module=”26221″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n\t\t [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”3%|3%|3%|3%|true|true” border_width_top=”4px” border_color_top=”#F15625″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Plant Pathology Concentration” url=”https:\/\/catalog.colostate.edu\/general-catalog\/colleges\/agricultural-sciences\/agricultural-biology\/agricultural-biology-major-plant-pathology-concentration\/” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#F15625″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The concentration in plant pathology focuses on improving the Sustainability of food systems, food security, and natural resource management.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”3%|3%|3%|3%|true|true” border_width_top=”4px” border_color_top=”#F15625″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Weed Science Concentration” url=”https:\/\/catalog.colostate.edu\/general-catalog\/colleges\/agricultural-sciences\/agricultural-biology\/agricultural-biology-major-weed-science-concentration\/” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#F15625″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The concentration in weed science, focuses on plants that are major threats to our food security such as invasive and weed plant species.
