Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainable Agriculture:
This interdepartmental major is for students interested in understanding relationships between food security, environmental quality, rural development, and farming practice. The program offers M.S. (thesis and non-thesis) and Ph.D. degrees; double majors and minors are also possible. Students within the program develop in-depth disciplinary knowledge under the direction of a faculty supervisor, but also take a series of team-taught core courses that integrate perspectives from agricultural production disciplines, ecology, environmental science, and social sciences. If you are interested in this program, you must apply through their website at http://www.sust.ag.iastate.edu/gpsa/
