Why SUNY Morrisville Agricultural Science?

Our unique B.Tech. program — developed in partnership with agriculture industry partners to meet the needs of today’s workforce — exposes all students to a wide breadth of core courses within agriculture, while offering four distinct specialization options: 

• Agricultural outreach and education: Provides the widest range of agricultural industry experiences tailored to the needs of aspiring agriculture education professionals
