Agriscience for Plants and Animals

About Agriscience for Plants and Animals

Grow your green thumb in our greenhouse, arboretum and several residential sites. Learn how to identify and propagate plants, operate agriscience equipment, manage pests and operate a nursery and greenhouse. Work outdoors and create beautiful landscapes. 

Expand your knowledge about animal health, care, and handling! Learn how to grow and care for broilers, laying chickens, rabbits, dogs, and more!  See how they fit into the environment and how to care for their needs. Visit John Ball Zoo to learn more about the zoo from behind the scenes.

New technologies in this industry bring improved agricultural products to consumers, while minimizing impact on the environment. Students who are excited about the preservation of natural resources, urban gardening, local food sourcing, plant life, landscaping, greenhouse operations and pest management may be a perfect match.
