- Biological Sciences
- The Biological Sciences Concentration is designed for students who
plan to do graduate study or who want professional positions that require
more basic science than is included in the other Crop Sciences concentrations.
Basic sciences courses offered by the Department of Crop Sciences and
by other departments of the university are emphasized. Students follow
a first year program of science and general education requirements
similar to students in other Crop Sciences concentrations. Programs
for the second, third and fourth year are planned in consultation with
the student's faculty advisor in the area of biological sciences.
