Majors

Information about the majors is available from the program coordinators or from the Office for Undergraduate Education. Brochures, pamphlets, and booklets are regularly distributed to College of Agricultural Sciences faculty, staff, representatives, and DUS programs coordinators.

Penn State students are ensured a broad education. All baccalaureate degree students take a core of general education courses, including English, communications, quantification, natural sciences, arts, humanities, social and behavioral sciences, first-year seminar, health, and physical activity. Most students take these courses during their first two years.

Graduates of the college are offered a full range of career opportunities in the science, technology, and services related to agricultural production, research and development, and supporting industries. Our graduates can become professionals in management and marketing, education, sales and services, or environmental areas.
