Whether you’re interested in horticulture, agronomy or pursuing a career in veterinary science, the Department of Agricultural Sciences can help you lay the foundation for a successful career. As a student, you’ll have numerous opportunities for hands-on learning at the University’s 350-acre farm, the Derrickson Agricultural Complex (commonly referred to as the University Farm), and at Browning Orchard. The University Farm includes equine facilities, greenhouses, livestock operations and a small and large animal hospital, where veterinary technology and veterinary science students assess, diagnose and treat cats, dogs and other domesticated animals.
As an agricultural science student, you’ll receive personal, one-on-one attention from faculty members who are committed to your success. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to work side-by-side with faculty members on agricultural research through our Undergraduate Research Fellowship program. You can begin as early as your freshman year and you’ll have the opportunity to present your work at state, regional and national conferences.
You will have plenty of opportunities to get involved as an agriculture student at MSU in any number of the more than 100 student organizations on campus, including the
MSU Equine Club and the Collegiate FFA, which are specifically geared toward agricultural science students.
