Explore the science behind healthy soils, productive crops, and sustainable agriculture. Tennessee Tech’s Agronomy and Precision Agriculture concentration combines crop and soil science with hands-on field experience to prepare you to solve real-world challenges in agricultural production and natural resource management.
Every successful crop begins with the relationship between plants, soils, and the environment. In this concentration, you’ll explore how soil fertility, plant health, crop science, and sustainable management practices work together to support productive agricultural systems.
Soil Science & Management
Study the chemical, physical, and biological properties of soil and how they influence
plant growth and agricultural productivity.
Crop Production
Explore the science behind healthy plants and productive cropping systems.
Sustainable Agriculture
Learn how thoughtful management of soils, crops, and natural resources can support
productive agriculture while protecting the environment.
Learning extends beyond the classroom through laboratory experiences, field-based instruction, and applied activities at Tennessee Tech’s 300-acre Tech Farm. You’ll work directly with crops, soils, and agricultural systems while developing practical technical skills for your future career.
You'll have access to:
Build leadership skills, expand your network, and connect with fellow students who share your interests.
With an in-demand field, you can apply your degree to many different opportunities after Tech, including:
At Tennessee Tech, you’ll take crop and soil science beyond the classroom through hands-on experiences at the Tech Farm, in laboratories, greenhouses, and field plots. By combining scientific study with practical learning and faculty mentorship, you’ll develop the technical skills needed to improve crop production, manage natural resources, and help build more productive and sustainable agricultural systems.
