Option in Environmental Systems
The Option in Environmental Systems is a degree track under the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. Students will be prepared through hands-on learning opportunities with practical application in the agriculture and natural sciences industries, developing skills in conservation, economics and marketing, soil science, entomology, organic agriculture, agriculture and energy, forestry, ecology and urban agriculture.
Learning to restore a balance between humanity and our changing environment will be among the biggest challenges of coming years. It will require an understanding of the interaction between ecology, sociology, economics, and other areas. Students in this option will understand our dependence and impacts on the natural world and how to ensure a sustainable future for us all.
Agriculture is one of the top-employing fields in the U.S. Students in Kentucky State University’s College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources will take advantage of the newly-renovated and state-of-the-art Atwood Research Facility, a 300-acre research and demonstration farm, a 14-acre aquaculture research facility, and a 300-acre environmental education and research facility.
