BAS Agricultural Science

We take hands-on to a whole new level. Northwest students access top-notch facilities and resources, including the Agricultural Learning Center, Center for Innovation and even our own University farm. We provide the full hands-on experience at the right price. Northwest's agriculture program exposes students to all avenues of the industry, including agricultural economics, plant science, animal science and soils.  What makes us different from other schools? The facilities and expertise.  The R.T. Wright University Laboratory Farm  is a 448-acre facility that provides profession-based learning experience with livestock and crops. New in 2021, the 29,000-square-foot  Agricultural Learning Center (ALC)  houses classrooms, laboratories, exposition and office spaces. Our agriculture faculty are experts in the field and want to help you thrive in your academic journey. Are you a transfer student  working on a vocational or technical Associate of Applied Science or Associate of Science degree from a regionally accredited community college? A  Bachelor of Applied Science with an emphasis in agriculture is available.  A minor in agricultural science is also an option. This 24-credit hour minor teaches students the fundamentals of agricultural economics, plant science, animal science and soil science.
