Career Opportunities

We Train Scientific Leaders

Faculty and advisors in our department actively prepare students for the next level of their careers, promote on-campus and national engagement within scientific communities, and support an active internship program with the regional agribusiness industry. We work closely with our partners and stakeholders to prepare the next generation of scientists.

Our graduates are CEOs, distinguished professors, and directors of research, among other rewarding positions.

Where will you land? Let us help you get there.

Agricultural Institute Internships

AGI partners with departments and the agricultural industry to deliver off-campus summer internship programs for students who are hungry for knowledge beyond campus. This special program is a great opportunity to gain real-world professional experience while still in school.

Both courses allow up to 6 credits, require sophomore standing or higher, and can be taken during any term. Students must complete the Course Contract with their faculty mentor or off-campus supervisor and submit it to the Director of Undergraduate Programs, Dr. Terri Billeisen.

Where can you work? Academia. Industry. Government.
