Recent recorded grades — Fall 2025: 3.77 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=11 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Identify ecological biotic and abiotic aspects of agricultural systems as stocks and flows of energy and matter within and between organizational levels (e.g. cellular, organismal, ecosystem, landscape, and global)

  • Describe the social dimensions of agricultural systems as stocks and flows of knowledge, information, and beliefs at organizational levels within agroecosystems

  • Explain and analyze how the management of agroecosystems influences ecological and social processes

  • Evaluate how agriculture can be designed and managed to be a solution for modern ecological and social challenges of today (e.g.climate change, unsustainable resources use, biodiversity declines, social inequality) in different socio-ecological contexts

  • Compare and contrast careers in agroecology through interactions with a wide variety of persons working in the field, from practitioners to industry professionals

  • Solve problems individually and as part of teams using the scientific method, logic, and reasoning by identifying and differentiating the strength and value of information, evidence, and approaches related to the management and sustainability of agroecosystems

  • Reflect on one's participation in food systems from local to global scales
