The Applied Science major allows students to select from a broad range of courses across the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources to make the degree fit their career goals.

Applied Science is one of the most flexible majors on campus - students are able to choose nearly 50% of the courses that they take to graduate. In addition, the degree has 18 – 20 hours of free electives, which means that you can incorporate a minor into the degree without taking any extra classes, and you'll graduate on time.
