A degree in Agriculture opens the door to many exciting careers and opportunities.  Agriculture contributes over 5 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product and nearly 11 percent of all employment in the U.S.  Every year millions of jobs are available in the agriculture sector and over 60,000 jobs go unfilled each year.  The B.S. in Agriculture at Sul Ross offers four concentrations that prepare students for careers in this dynamic and challenging field.

Our supporters help us provide top-quality education. Thanks to the Dixon Water Foundation for establishing the Clint Josey Endowed Chair for Sustainable Ranch Management and to the Lykes Brothers for the donation of a 68,000 acre lease on the 02 Ranch.

Concentrations Available:

• The Agricultural Business concentration prepares students for careers across many types of industries in global agriculture. Everything involved in agriculture, from the production of food, the trade and distribution of livestock and agriculture products to the financial well-being of agricultural producers and markets falls under agricultural business.
• The Agricultural Education concentration combines courses in Agricultural Education, Animal Science, Natural Resources, Industrial Technology and general Education and the curriculum develops the leadership qualities and knowledge students will need to succeed.
• The Agricultural Systems concentration is designed for students who want to pursue a career in the Agricultural Extension field.  With foundational courses in Ag teaching and a broad base in agricultural classes, the student can then select a focus or continue to build across a broad range of agricultural topics.
• Sustainable Ranch Management trains students to join the next generation of land stewards, learning to manage a ranch from the soil up. Our hands-on program is the only one of its kind in Texas offering a four-year Bachelor of Science degree.
