Interested in a variety of agricultural disciplines?

In the OSU General Agriculture program, students have the unique opportunity to create an individual education plan that meets their specific career objectives. The flexibility of the general agriculture degree, as well as the broad foundation of the course work, allows you to complete a degree no matter what your previous skill level. This program has proved successful for the entering student, as well as the experienced farmer or rancher.

As a General Agriculture major, you will:

• Have the opportunity to customize your curriculum by focusing on a minor or developing an emphasis area in fields like animal sciences, crop and soil science and agricultural business management.
• Develop professional traits, including leadership and communication skills.
• Identify the agricultural Career you are most interested in and design a course of study with a faculty advisor to better qualify you for your chosen profession.

Completing a General Agriculture Degree through Ecampus

The General Agriculture online degree program is accessible for you to complete through OSU Extended Campus (Ecampus). You will be required to complete prerequisites such as a full year of biology and two terms of chemistry, both with lab components. These courses may be taken at a community college or other institution in your local area. Contact our Student Services Center to learn more about prerequisites and to find out if any previous course work will meet degree requirements. Most upper division course work in this program is delivered via the Web, videotapes, DVD and one-on-one with an instructor. See the Schedule of Classes for delivery specifications.

The undergraduate distance degree programs are designed to be completed entirely at a distance. However, there are a few courses that OSU does not currently offer.

Check out our Getting Started Guide to taking academic credit courses at a distance through Ecampus. In other words, students need to complete some of their lower division courses (100-200 level) through another institution. All upper division (300-400 level) courses required for your distance degree are offered through OSU. The Student Services Center will work very closely with students to find a distance or local alternative if the student has no previous course work.
