4 BSc Degrees in Plant Sciences

Good stewardship of crops and land has never been more important. Increasing the quantity and the quality of crop yields, and doing so in a way that's sustainable year after year, can be the difference between plenty and privation. -

The Department of Plant Science at California State University, Fresno is located in the nation's most productive agricultural valley. Our graduates acquire a sound academic background that is deeply rooted in field-based experience in the broad array of disciplines within Plant Science. These include pomology, olericulture, agronomy, environmental horticulture, soils, irrigation, economic entomology, plant pathology, weed science, and mechanized agriculture. Our faculty hold advanced degrees in these disciplines and regularly integrates this knowledge directly in the field and laboratories. The university's 1000-acre agricultural field laboratory, greenhouse facilities, and the Jordan Agricultural Research Center are home to cutting-edge horticultural and agronomic practices, using the latest innovations in crop production, mechanization, irrigation, soil fertility, propagation, and pest management. -

Plant and Soil Sciences, through theoretical and practical training, prepares students to tackle real-world problems by integrating and applying knowledge they learn from different disciplines. This program includes rigorous training in biology and laboratory methods. -

The Agronomy, Crop, and Soil Science Program provide excellent connections with local and international Agricultural companies researching the farm on campus and coordinating internship and employment opportunities throughout their industry network. -
