在这里学什么？

Field crop management is one of six majors in the integrated plant sciences bachelor's degree program.

The field crop management major is ideal for students interested in agronomy, crop production, and plant, soil, and pest management as it allows students the flexibility to choose a minor or specialize in an area of their choice. Crop scientists (or agronomists) are involved in improving food, feed, and fiber production.

Strengths of the program

Learn from professors who are among the most productive and creative in the nation, several of whom are members of the National Academy of Science. Learn skills that can help solve environmental and food problems or create enjoyable living conditions. You can join a math, science, and engineering community residence hall at WSU Pullman—share classes with your neighbors, study together, get free tutoring, and use the hall’s computer lab. Receive top-quality classroom, field, and laboratory experiences required for well-paying careers in industry, government, and farming. Work with faculty whose research is funded by the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Agriculture. Pursue direct research in such areas as organic crop production systems, plant breeding, biotechnology, groundwater contamination prevention, and turf and golf course management. WSU provides the state’s only four-year program in crop and soil sciences.

Featured courses & program information

All the majors in the bachelor of science in integrated plant sciences degree — including field crop management — share a common set of core courses. All students will take a year of chemistry, a year of biology, and a statistics course, in addition to the core courses specified for the degree and major.

Careers The field crop management major is for students interested in careers such as certified crop advisors, consultants, field representatives, farm managers, and crop specialists.
