The USDA recently published a new report showing tremendous demand for recent college graduates with a degree in agricultural programs with an estimated 57,900 high-skilled job openings annually in the food, agriculture, renewable natural resources, and environmental fields in the United States.
Whether you wish to work in the field, the forest, the greenhouse, or the laboratory, whether in the academic, private, non-profit, or governmental sector, whether domestic or abroad, a degree in plant breeding can position you for a fulfilling, stimulating, and necessary career.
The Plant Breeding Center has developed a Graduate Academic Unit Certificate in Plant Breeding. Students who complete the requirements of both their graduate program and a selection of core plant breeding courses will graduate with their degree and a graduate certificate in plant breeding. The requirements for the GAUC can be found here.
