Agricultural Biology – Plant Pathology

Do You Want to Improve the Sustainability of Food Systems, Food Security, and Natural Resource Management?

Agricultural Biology students 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.

The Agricultural Biology degree program offers an opportunity to learn how ecosystems function and how to protect them. 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.

Together, you will become prepared to identify applications and put in practice the knowledge gained to solve today’s biggest challenges.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Solve problems related to plants, insects, and microbes in natural and managed ecosystems
Understand social, economic, and biophysical aspects of the management of biological problems in natural and managed ecosystems
Create solutions for pests and beneficial species in natural and managed ecosystems
