Agriculture (Science)

Agriculture is the United States' largest industry - twenty percent of the work force is employed in the production, marketing, transporting, processing, and distribution of agricultural products. The study of Agricultural Science combines the study of crop, soil, and animal science, with a broad curriculum including the physical, biological, social science, and technical aspects of agriculture.

Agricultural Science students entering their junior year at WIU can participate in an internship in their chosen area of technical competency. The goal of the internship is to provide professional agricultural experiences in the operation and management of agricultural businesses or public or private agencies.
