A minor in agriculture can strengthen an area outside your major, broaden your skills and understanding, and increase your opportunities for employment.

Each minor is a program of at least 18 credits designed to give you a working knowledge of a particular subject area. Some minors require specific courses, while others allow you to choose courses from a prescribed list. All are designed to strengthen your academic program.

Depending on the number of electives in your major, you may be able to complete a minor in agriculture concurrent with course work in your major; however, some students take an extra semester for additional flexibility in scheduling courses in their minor. The program adviser for the minor can help you make scheduling decisions.
