The concentrations in Production and Sustainability are comprised of core courses (13 credit hours each), which point to a different set of potential career objectives. The Production concentration focuses on animal and plant production as well as a wide variety of industries that support growers. The Sustainability curriculum incorporates topics on ecological, social and financial challenges faced by humanity along with practical solutions. |
