All departments in the college offer programs leading to the Bachelor of Science. The following majors do not offer a Bachelor of Arts degree: Animal Science; Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Biology; Building and Construction Technology; Earth Systems; Environmental Science; Food Science; Horticultural Science; Microbiology; Natural Resources Conservation; Plant and Soil Science; Pre-Veterinary; Science; Sustainable Food & Farming; and Turfgrass Science & Management.

Students have great freedom in choosing a program of study and a major, but because some of the major programs require sequences of courses that can extend over seven or eight semesters, students should seek regular advice in choosing majors and courses to ensure timely progression and degree completion.
