All students take core courses plus two to four electives. Courses often involve more than one type of class plus laboratory experiences or field trips. Students also pursue an Independent Study Project (ISP) and participate in workshops. The program’s Seminar component offers advice on higher education and career opportunities. Guest lecturers, discussion groups and field trips round out the schedule. Course offerings are revised each year, and ISP projects depend on current professional research being undertaken at the Pennsylvania State University College of Agricultural Sciences.
