The undergraduate program in agronomy and horticulture prepares students for a variety of careers in agriculture and related fields. Accordingly, a flexible curriculum has been designed that will allow specific programs to be developed in consultation with the student's academic adviser. Programs may also be developed for those who wish to prepare for advanced studies in graduate school. In addition to the courses listed for each major, 35 credits must be taken in the College of Agriculture and Home Economics, and the university general education requirements must be met.
DEGREE: Bachelor of Science in Agriculture
MAJOR: Agronomy
Agronomy is an understanding of the principles of plant and soil science and an application of these principles to the production of crops. Commercial sector careers include positions in: agricultural consulting companies, agricultural seed or chemical companies, research and development with commercial companies, and farm and/or ranch management. Careers in county, state or federal agencies are in the areas of: USDA, Cooperative Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service, Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.

FORESTRY
(Preprofessional Training Only, Nondegree)
The preforestry curriculum is designed to offer a broad basic training that will prepare students for entry in a school or college of forestry outside New Mexico. Requirements for admission to forestry schools vary. The student should select a school as early as possible and become familiar with its requirements. The suggested curriculum below may then be modified to meet these requirements. Through a special agreement with Northern Arizona University, students completing 28 credits of the courses marked with an asterisk in the list below with a GPA of 2.5 or better will be automatically admitted to NAU at the beginning of their third year. Students may contact the preforestry adviser or NAU regarding details.
