Environmental Agriscience is an environmentally oriented curriculum that offers courses in soils, geology, ecology, hydrology, and biology in an environmental context in addition to traditional agriculture courses. Graduates in the Environmental Agriscience concentration could work in fields such as water quality, reclamation, and developing environmental impact statements. Environmental consulting firms, the EPA, state health departments, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Agricultural Extension Service are a few examples of possible employers.
