Program Description The program offers world-class graduate programs that focus in a broad spectrum of basic and applied sciences. Crop science students may specialize in:
Our goal is to train tomorrow’s leaders, scientists, and educators who will be capable of making valuable contributions in their chosen field or endeavor. To achieve this goal, CSS offers students opportunities to develop in-depth knowledge in their chosen field, to develop critical thinking skills, and to conduct original, cutting-edge research in laboratory and field settings. Students are also provided teaching opportunities in the classroom and in outreach and extension programs. At the same time, students have the opportunity to develop a breadth of knowledge across the varied crop science disciplines and related disciplines (i.e. molecular genetics, plant pathology, bio-chemistry) beyond by interacting with colleagues and faculty working in research areas outside of their own.
