At IPFW, you can complete the first two years of most of the 47 Bachelor of Science programs in agriculture and forestry, the two-year preveterinary program, up to two semesters of the forestry and natural resources programs, two semesters of the preagricultural and biological engineering program, and three semesters of an associate degree program in agriculture. All agriculture degrees must be completed at the West Lafayette campus of Purdue University. The forestry and natural resources and preveterinary programs are listed alphabetically later in this part of the Bulletin.
All degree programs in agriculture provide balanced curricula in computer science, mathematics, physical sciences, biological sciences, communication, social sciences, humanities, international understanding or emphasis, and business, plus technical preparation in the selected area of specialization. These programs recognize the need for graduates who are prepared to function effectively in the highly technical world of modern agriculture.
The Purdue University School of Agriculture is one of the nation’s highest-ranked and most-prestigious institutions of agricultural teaching, research, extension, and international programs. The West Lafayette faculty annually prepares more than 2,000 undergraduate and 500 graduate students for careers in the world’s food production and distribution systems.
The IPFW agriculture program coordinator will assist you with processing intercampus transfer forms and with arranging affiliation with the appropriate West Lafayette counseling coordinator for the degree program selected. For a listing of degree programs available and additional details about all programs, you should obtain a current Bulletin of the School of Agriculture from the IPFW agriculture dean’s program coordinator.
The partial requirements stated below can be completed at IPFW and apply in most B.S. programs in agriculture. Because of professional objectives and accreditation requirements, significant variations exist in some programs such as agricultural and biological engineering, biochemistry, forestry and natural resources, and landscape architecture. Students selecting these options may be able to complete only one or two semesters at IPFW.
It is highly recommended that you keep in contact with the agriculture program coordinator to remain up to date on any changes in the course requirements and to make sure that the requirements of your particular major are being met.
