Agronomy is the science and technology of producing and using plants for food, fuel, fiber, and land reclamation. Agriculture is evolving into a more business-savvy industry and large farming operations are turning to agronomists to manage soil and crop production. BSC’s Agronomy program prepares students for multiple positions within the agronomy industry. Coursework focuses on crop science, agribusiness skills, and technology-based processes related to business management, crop production, soil science and precision farming. Instruction includes guidance systems, handheld GPS systems, GIS software, variable rate fertilizer application and remote sensing. Students graduate with an Associate in Applied Science degree.

The global economy offers many opportunities to provide food, animal feed and energy, which makes it an exciting time to be involved in agriculture. The current student placement rate in this program is 100 percent.
