Requirements for a Minor
2005-2007An interdisciplinary program sponsored by three
departments in the College of Agriculture: BioResource and Agricultural
Engineering, Natural Resources Management, and Horticulture and Crop Science.
New technologies of geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning
systems (GPS), and orthophotography (uniform scale aerial photographs) are
revolutionizing the management of resources. There are great employment
opportunities for those who understand the technologies and society will benefit
from improved management decisions. Students interested in this minor may come
from the following majors: forestry and natural resources; crop science; soil
science; landscape architecture; agricultural systems management; bioresource
and agricultural engineering or animal science.
