The B.S. in environmental sciences with an emphasis in agricultural environmental stewardship will train students with the scientific background and practical skills needed to successfully address environmental issues, by providing them with the background of agricultural operations that will enable them to understand the fate of chemicals in the environment and the impact agriculture can have on the fate and transport of chemicals in the environment.  This will also enable students to learn about techniques in various fields of agriculture that minimize the impact on the environment while still producing the food, energy, shelter, and other commodities needed to sustain the human population.

• Graduates of this emphasis area would be ideally suited to bridge the gap between agricultural production and environmental science.
  
  
• Graduates would be ideally suited for employment with government agencies such as NRCS, USDA, EPA and others.
