Program Overview

Crop Science Certificate (Distance Education)

Overview

The Undergraduate Certificate in Crop Science is a program that allows participants to explore the breadth of crop-related courses offered in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences. Participants in the program can customize their program to gain an understanding of the importance of agronomic crops for our state and national economy; how agronomic growth, development, and yield interact with environmental factors during the production season; sustainable production systems for agronomic crops; and marketing and distribution issues of these crops that can be related to world hunger. Individual courses will vary in instruction style, exam methods and assignments, and will include an assortment of online instruction methodology, video and PowerPoint presentations, outside readings, and online discussion sessions.
