The diversified agricultural studies major is designed for the intellectually aggressive student who seeks a broad education in the agricultural sciences combined with essential studies in the natural sciences, mathematics, leadership, communications skills, humanities, and social sciences. The diversified agricultural studies major may also be an appropriate initial major for the student who may be undecided about which area of the agricultural sciences s/he wishes to pursue.
