The current demand for Agronomy graduates exceeds supply, and we expect the demand to increase. Agronomy majors with B.S. degrees can choose from careers in agricultural research and teaching, agribusiness, resource conservation, and crop management. Agronomists provide technical and support services for seed production and crop protection industries and for biotechnology and conservation organizations. They are also employed as extension advisors, vocational agriculture instructors, and farm managers. You will be well prepared for any of these careers by the Agronomy curriculum at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Our diverse undergraduate program offers exciting possibilities for study and experience. It allows undergraduates to concentrate in plant breeding and genetics, plant biotechnology, plant protection, or sustainable agriculture. We offer five curriculum options:
- Natural Science
- Natural Resources
- International Agriculture and Natural Resources
- Agricultural Business and Industry
- Agricultural Production and Technology
and each option is flexible to provide for a student's individual needs and interests.
