In collaboration with the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service (OCES) and the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station (OAES), Ferguson College faculty provide great breadth and exceptional quality in teaching, advising, research, extension and service. Ferguson College's academic programs prepare students to analyze information, communicate effectively, think critically, problem solve, and assume leadership roles in their respective fields of study. Students also receive a solid general education in communications, humanities and social sciences. In agriculture or natural resources, the graduate will have an opportunity for a rewarding career that will last as long as food is consumed, fiber is grown, and soil, water and wildlife resources are valued. Career opportunities in Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources are highly diverse. Majors are supported in traditional agricultural and natural resource areas such as animal science, agricultural business, soil science, range science, entomology and agricultural education, in addition to emerging areas such as plant and animal biotechnology, food science, natural resource management and agricultural communications. Ferguson College's programs also include many fields not commonly associated with agriculture such as landscape architecture, turf management, biochemistry, environmental science, leadership and pre-medical sciences. Students come from both traditional agricultural roots and urban settings. This diversity adds strength to the college experience for all Ferguson College students. Active international programs are available to students in every Ferguson College major and add a unique dimension to the college experience.
