The Stockbridge Bachelor's Degree Curriculum
The undergraduate curriculum at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture is designed to be flexible. The goal is to allow students to discover new areas, and then tailor their course work to best reflect their individual academic interests and career objectives. Each major encompasses a broad range of related disciplines dealing with applied biology and ecology.
Stockbridge students start together each Fall in two introductory Stockbridge courses—Introductory Botany and Soils—where they get to know each other in a small school environment. This creates a social base that assists as they attend larger University courses to fulfill their general education requirements.
These initial courses, which include biology, chemistry, ecology and mathematics, form the foundation for more advanced study in the major. The exact sequence of courses is determined by the student’s selection of an area of study. Independent study and internships are available under each major providing students with the opportunity to integrate laboratory and field work into their curriculum.
