College of Agriculture The various curricula in the College of Agriculture have as their main objective the preparation of young men for farming, ranching, and other business associated with agriculture; for the pursuit of scientific investigation in the broad field of agriculture, including soils, water and plant and animal products, both native and cultivated; for careers in teaching or extension work in agriculture; for work with various governmental and private agricultural agencies; or for the teaching of conservation and management of our natural and cultivated resources. Systematic training is given in the science of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology, all of which are fundamental to the study of scientific agriculture. The curricula offered give the student a wide range of choice in the selection of a major, and elective courses provide excellent opportunity for enlarging his field of learning in keeping with his individual interest and needs.
