Ringkasan program

This program is designed for students who want a broad education in agriculture to prepare for careers that require knowledge of food systems and natural resources, such as production and marketing of foods and ornamental plants; and careers in agricultural education in secondary schools, cooperative extension, and crop consulting. Students in the program develop a curriculum that best fits their individual needs. Cornell is one of the world leaders in international agriculture and rural development. As an agricultural science major, participation in at least one class focusing on international agriculture is required. Students will have boundless opportunities to earn credit for their participation in structured study tours to places like Mexico, India and the Philippines to learn about agriculture outside of the U.S. Many students also arrange for their required internship to be based internationally at a farm or organization. This program focuses on the biology, nutrition, and management of farm animals. Courses offered in this concentration are designed to complement the collective agricultural skills gained from the major core requirements. There are additional courses on dairy, swine, sheep, and poultry management where students can train in technical as well as practical areas. For students that are interested, Cornell also has an extensive dairy management program that students can get involved in with hands on educational facilities on campus and a training and research center nearby. This concentration will help prepare students in a variety of careers in animal and agricultural operations.
