The Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science prepares students for management-level employment in an animal-related field or admission to graduate school. 学生 interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine will need to complete additional science classes to meet the prerequisites for veterinary colleges. See “Recommended for Pre-Vet” below for more details.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Sustainable Horticulture is a professional degree for students looking for a future in management or supervision.

Our faculty and staff come from a variety of backgrounds that encompass a large range of experiences and interests.
Agriculture has been an important part in the history of the predecessor of bet365中文大学, Emmanuel Missionary College (EMC). Back in 1901, the site for EMC was selected for its excellent gardens, orchards and fields. 学生 grew and marketed food crops to gain practical knowledge as well as earn their tuition. The academic aspect of agriculture began around the time of World War I with the first graduates from the 部门 Agriculture in 1918. In the years since the focus of the agriculture department has varied depending on the needs and trends in the field. Today our department is made up of two main program areas: BS Animal Science and BS Sustainable Horticulture, which has three concentrations: International Agriculture Development; 农业综合企业; and Environmental and 景观设计.
学习当前, 可持续发展的, practices and procedures in their chosen area of agriculture based on a strong scientific foundation and hands-on experience.
Realize our sacred, Christian obligation as the caretakers of this planet to preserve and improve it.
Put the knowledge and experience gained into practice to improve:
Agriculture has been a part of bet365中文大学's rich history from the beginning. 学生 in the Sustainable Agriculture department gain unparalleled hands-on experience, whether that be with animals or plants. Internships during their time with us help to emphasis the knowledge they've learned in the classroom but in a real world setting. When students complete their degree in Animal Science / Pre-Veterinary medicine or Sustainable Horticulture, they are ready to take the next steps in their working careers. We take pride when our students are pursuing their love for plants and animals and find careers in these fields. Some of our students go on to become Veterinarians or create their own landscape design businesses. The career possibilites are endless! We are one of the few Christian Universities to offer degrees in Agriculture and the one North American 基督复临安息日会 University to offer a degree in Sustainable Horticulture.
