Students selecting a Comprehensive Major in Agricultural Science must complete a minimum of 9 credit hours in at least three of the agricultural areas: agricultural business, agricultural mechanization, agricultural education, agronomy, animal science, horticulture, and precision agriculture. Each course may be counted in only one major area.

AGRI 03102, CHEM 24112 and CHEM 24113, CHEM 24114 and CHEM 24115: These courses fulfill a Northwest Core requirement as well as a requirement of the major, but the number of credit hours may be counted only once toward the total number of credit hours required for graduation.

Free electives as needed to reach minimum 120 graduation hours

NOTE: Degree requires a grade point average of 2.25 in major courses.
