Resource Conservation and Regenerative Agriculture

This new concentration teaches a whole-systems approach to agriscience — from soil to supermarket. The emerging practices of agroecology, regenerative agronomy, permaculture, soil management and conservation planning are taught and implemented on the College's 267-acre academic farm and throughout its greenhouses, high tunnels and raised beds. This program is ideal for students interested in federal- and state-agency soil science/soil conservation careers and meets all qualification standards as outlined by the USDA-NRCS (at least 12 semester hours in combination of soils and crops or plant science).

NOTE: Transfer students from Clark State Community College, Agricultural Technical Institute - The Ohio State University, and Southern State Community College, who have completed an Associate of Applied Science or a two-year technical degree in an area related to Agriculture, Horticulture, Natural Resources or Environmental Studies, with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0, can complete this degree program by taking the 24 Resource Conservation and Regenerative Agriculture hours remaining outside of the 26-hour Agriculture core.
