Agronomy.
If you would like to confront world hunger, protect human health, explore plant life, protect the quality of our land and develop bio-fuels, than agronomy is the major for you. As an agronomist, you would learn to apply your knowledge of biology, chemistry, earth science, ecology and genetics to solve some of the greatest issues facing humanity . As an agronomy major, you learn these skills through hands-on work experiences, often collaborating with our world-renowned staff on a real life research project.
