USU是该州唯一以农业为重点的植物科学学位的所在地。在该计划中，学生专注于重要经济植物的研究，生产和管理。学生可以获得教师指导，并有机会获得与实验室，温室和田地研究科学家并肩工作的实践经验。植物科学专业的学生可以自定义他们的教育并专注于该领域的各个领域植物科学领域，例如可持续农业，作物生理学和生物技术，杂草控制，施肥，需水量和应用以及水果，蔬菜，草皮，观赏植物和农作物的特定生产，这种重点更多地集中在应用，手-与植物一起工作。它是为对田间，苗圃，果园或温室中植物生产和管理的应用方面感兴趣的学生而设计的。学生
USU is home to the only agriculturally focused plant science degree in the state. In this program, students focus on the research, production, and management of economically important plants. Students have access to faculty mentors and the opportunity to receive hands-on experience working side-by-side with research scientists in laboratories, greenhouses, and fields.Plant science majors are able to customize their education and focus on a variety of areas in the plant science field, such as sustainable agriculture, crop physiology and biotechnology, weed control, fertilization, water requirements and application, and the specific production of fruits, vegetables, turf, ornamentals, and agronomic crops.This emphasis is focused more on applied, hands-on work with plants. It is designed for students interested in applied aspects of plant production and management in the field, nursery, orchard, or greenhouse. Students can also study plant management, preparing them for careers with golf courses, botanical gardens, school campuses, and other landscapes.
