You can focus on topics like animal sciences, crop and soil science or agricultural business management. Other focus areas can strengthen your leadership and communication skills. And if you're interested in becoming a teacher, a general agriculture degree is an ideal first step.

  The General Agriculture program is an undergraduate studies program which provides maximum flexibility in designing and structuring a course of study to meet the students' individual needs. The goal of the General Agriculture program is to help students identify the agricultural career in which they are most interested and build a course of study that will qualify each student for his or her chosen profession. Advising is of paramount importance in this process. You can obtain specific information regarding curriculum requirements and transfer of credit from an academic advisor in the OSU Agriculture Program.
