The Department of Agricultural and Industrial Sciences consists of three major programs of study: Agricultural Sciences, Industrial Sciences and Technology, and Career and Technology Education. Within each program are a number of specialized programs or majors, offering students the opportunity to tailor degree programs with career goals. Specific requirements for each degree are outlined under the respective program headings. For more information, please visit Department of Agricultural and Industrial Sciences, or contact Dr. Stanley Kelley.
Academic Programs
The Agricultural Sciences program offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Agriculture with the following emphasis areas:
- Interdisciplinary Agriculture (Teaching certification available)
- Agricultural Business (Teaching certification available)
- Agricultural Engineering Technology (Teaching certification available)
- Animal Science (Pre-veterinary Medicine, Equine Science, Teaching Certification, and Wildlife Ecology options available)
- Horticulture and Crop Science (Teaching certification available)
Highlights
The Agricultural Sciences program has multiple educational centers and complexes. The Plant Science Field Lab has two greenhouses and laboratory facilities for floral design. The William R. Harrell Agricultural Engineering Technology Center provides students with hands-on experience in metal fabrication, electricity and electronics, hydraulics, structures, alternative energy resources, and soil and water conservation. The 1740-acre Gibbs Ranch Education and Research Facility, located north of campus on Highway 75, serves as a living laboratory for all aspects of agricultural and natural resource management.
Career Opportunities
Approximately twenty percent of our population is involved in occupations directly related to agriculture. Sectors such as production, banking, marketing, teaching, processing, and service in governmental agencies rely on the productivity of modern agriculture in meeting the daily needs of society.
Additional career information is given in the introduction to each of the degree programs in agriculture.
Suggested Minors
For those seeking secondary teacher certification in agricultural science, secondary education (CISE) is used for the minor. The most common major used for this purpose is Interdisciplinary Agriculture, but may be used with other program areas within the department as well. Many Agribusiness, Animal Science, Agricultural Engineering Technology, and Horticulture-Crop Science majors will select minors from program areas within the department (see Minor area), while others will select from the College of Business Administration, such as Management, Marketing, Accounting, Banking, Finance, or General Business Administration. Animal Science majors can select a minor in Wildlife Ecology or Equine Science. Biology or Composite Science is frequently taken as a minor by Animal Science and Horticulture and Crop Science students considering graduate school. Agricultural Engineering Technology majors often select areas available in the Industrial Technology Program or SED. For those interested in a career in agricultural communications, a minor in Mass Communication is often selected. Minors in Horticulture and Crop Science, Animal Science, Equine Science, Agricultural Engineering Technology, and Agribusiness are available for those majoring in other specific agricultural disciplines. For instance, an Agribusiness student may minor in Horticulture and Crop Science to better prepare for the business aspects in the field of horticulture.

Agricultural Education
Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) Teacher Certification
The primary emphasis of the teacher certification program is the preparation of secondary teachers of Agricultural, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR). Students gain a broad background in the agricultural sciences along with professional preparation courses in agricultural and secondary pedagogy. This comprehensive background prepares students for a wide variety of professional agricultural careers.
The teacher certification option can be chosen with any of the agricultural emphasis majors as shown. Students majoring in interdisciplinary agriculture, agricultural business, animal science, agricultural engineering technology, or horticulture and crop sciences who are seeking AFNR teacher certification should select CISE as their minor.
All students seeking teacher certification must be advised each semester to ensure proper sequencing of classes.

CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM
BACHELOR OF APPLIED ARTS AND SCIENCES
Coordinator: Dr. Douglas R. Ullrich, (936) 294-1188
- Present evidence of the development of an area of technical specialty with an Associate of Applied Arts and Sciences degree from a junior/community college.
- Sixty-six semester hours (plus four semester hours of activity physical education) may be transferred from another educational institution. This should include thirty-six hours in-block coursework in an organized technical program.
- The specialty title of the Associates of Applied Sciences degree must be posted to the transcript for approval for entry into the BAAS program
- Students MUST be advised by the program coordinator to have transcripts reviewed and a declaration of major/minor submitted before full acceptance into the BAAS program is finalized.
- Complete a baccalaureate degree plan from residence and transfer credit which contains a minimum of 120 semester credit hours and includes the following:
- Forty-two semester hours of advanced level credits (courses taken at the junior-senior level at a senior institution).
- A twenty-one hour minor in a field related to the student's technical specialty. All hours in the minor should be at advanced level. If a minor is selected that does not require twenty-one advanced hours the student must take extra advanced electives to reach the required 42 advanced hours.
- A nine hour internship is required if some type of field experience was not required within the AAS program. If the minor department does not offer an internship the Career and Technology Program will administer the internship. This is in addition to the twenty-one hour minor.
- A total of 42 advanced hours (300 <3000>-400 <4000> level classes) must be taken. These hours may come in part from the minor and required internship. Additional elective hours will be required to complete this requirement.
- Complete 42 hours in general education, refer to section on core requirements (may include up to 30 hours of core academics from community college courses - see program coordinator for clarification).
