Bachelor of Science in Plant Science - Crop science and management

University of Idaho

Our world’s expanding need for food and energy sources requires professionals who have the expertise to manage and produce high-yield, high-quality crops. This program combines the study of applied crop production and management, giving you broad-based knowledge to grow successful crops. You will explore soils, weeds, plant breeding, microbes, insects and other areas related to plant growth. You will also study advanced growing techniques like biotechnology and global positioning systems (GPS). Much of your education takes place in the on-campus greenhouses and in the lab, where you might insert a jellyfish gene into tobacco to make it glow in the dark, produce biodiesel from canola seeds or create a dual potato-tomato plant through grafting.
