A.S. Agroecology/Environmental Science

Agroecology/Environmental Science (A.A.)

Agroecology is a track under Environmental Science.  It is the science of applying ecological concepts and principles to the design and management of sustainable agro ecosystems. This discipline brings together the elements of agricultural sciences, ecology, and environmental thought and is influenced by the experiences of people who manage land and water to produce food and other products.  This unique program will incorporate traditional knowledge into all aspects of the curriculum.   Students should consider this option to prepare for a wide range of careers with varying specializations, including animal studies, pre-veterinary medicine, horticulture, soils and environment, resource economics, and sustainable agriculture.
IMPORTANT: To fulfill the General Education Science Core, students are required to take BIO 181 and ENV 101.
