Welcome to the School of Agriculture
The MTSU School of Agriculture appreciates your interest in our undergraduate and
graduate programs. Our students have many diverse learning opportunities, including
understanding agricultural business operations, agricultural production, and the science
and technology of agricultural production and processing. Our students learn by doing
and our courses incorporate a variety of hands-on learning opportunities. The School
of Agriculture is a place where the faculty get to know you through involvement in
classroom activities and extracurricular events. Our facilities include modern technology
and we offer opportunities to study abroad. With several farms, a dairy, four greenhouses,
a fermentation lab, and a horse science center, it's not surprising that students
can apply what they learn in a variety of real-life settings. Feeding the world in
a sustainable way is key to the future, and students can participate in research and
experiential learning toward that goal.
We offer programs leading to Bachelor of Science degrees in Agribusiness, Animal Science,
Fermentation Science, Horse Science and Plant & Soil Science. A concentration in
pre-veterinary medicine is available to animal science majors. We offer a minor in
agricultural education and poultry science. A Master of Science (M.S.) degree is
offered in Horse Science, with three concentrations: Equine Education, Equine Management,
and Equine Physiology. We also offer a Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree in Agricultural
Education Leadership.
We invite you to explore the many programs available in the School of Agriculture!
