Nebraska's Comprehensive Ag Program
If you're thinking about pursuing agriculture for your college education, you can major or minor in agricultural science at Concordia Nebraska, where you'll study the whole ag industry on a tight-knit campus that's surrounded by multinational, regional and family-owned ag businesses.
Discover The Full Ag Industry at Concordia
Concordia University, Nebraska’s agricultural science program offers a broad, general approach to learning about the industry without having to specialize in one area. You’ll learn the four main concepts in agriculture—agribusiness, animal science, food science and plant science—through a Christ-centered, Lutheran perspective that will equip you to be a responsible steward of God’s creation. With one in four jobs in Nebraska relating to agriculture, this program will prepare you for your future in ag through internships and hands-on projects.
Agribusiness
Learn the fundamentals of agricultural economics and finance to prepare you for service in the ag industry.
Animal Science
Explore the disciplines of animal production, including breeding and genetics, meat science, nutrition and reproductive physiology.
Food Science
Work closely with food producers on best practices for safe crop and animal production to provide food products.
Plant Science
Discover the fundamentals of field and forage crop production, including utilization, yield potential, soil fertility relationships and pest management.
God's Creation. Our Responsibility.
God entrusted humans to be stewards of His earth, caring for the land, water and living creatures He created. A career in agriculture is the perfect way for you to live that mission by supporting our food system through production agriculture, natural resource conservation or as part of a government agency focused on ag in the United States and abroad. Major or minor in ag at Concordia and serve a higher purpose!
An Ag Community
Concordia’s location in Seward County, Nebraska, a thriving agricultural area with nearly 1,000 farms and various multinational and regional industry facilities, provides you extensive hands-on learning opportunities. Our program will incorporate internships and projects with local producers, seed companies, lenders, food processors, livestock breeders and agribusiness companies, designed to meet your goals.
An Education Built on a Christian Foundation
Today, Concordia continues to emphasize the Christ-centered message of the Gospel in the higher education it delivers to its students. Our four foundational promises (community, inquiry, purpose and wisdom) seek to ensure that Concordia will always deliver a Lutheran, Christian higher education and that our students will be equipped not only with a set of skills and a degree, but also a sense of Christian vocation and purpose for the future.
