The editors at Bachelor’s Degree Center said, “Farming is a lot more sophisticated than it was 50 years ago.” A degree in agriculture can offer graduates a wealth of opportunities beyond farming, from food science to biochemistry.
As the editors explain, “Agriculture is the science of helping plants and animals grow and stay healthy. Agriculture is often related to farming, but it involves a lot more than farming. Agribusiness could also be seen as the entire business of farming — from planting to harvesting to distribution.” Students may choose on-campus or online options, but students should be careful to choose accredited programs if they want their degree to take them into a successful career.
