COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES<br />
DEPARTMENT OF CROP<br />
PROTECTION<br />
The Department of Crop Protection offers a<br />
program of instruction leading to a degree in<br />
Agriculture with specialization in Crop<br />
Protection. The Department of Crop Protection<br />
emphasizes the effective use and application of<br />
agricultural technology in the fields of crop<br />
protection. It integrates the function of resident<br />
instruction, research and extension in the<br />
disciplines of entomology, nematology,<br />
phytopathology, and weed science in a global<br />
approach aimed at protecting crop plant health.<br />
The first year of study in crop protection is<br />
similar in requirements as other undergraduate<br />
curricula in Agricultural Sciences.<br />
Specialization gradually begins during the<br />
sophomore year. A student, in consultation with<br />
an academic advisor, selects 12 credits of<br />
professional electives and 12 of free electives.<br />
Professional electives are chosen mainly from<br />
Crop Protection Department course offerings.<br />
During the summer, between the third and fourth<br />
year, students participate in a three-credit<br />
summer field practicum emphasizing some<br />
aspects of crop protection. The Department also<br />
offers a study program leading to the degree of<br />
Master of Science with specialization in Crop<br />
Protection .<br />
