From the Director:
Welcome to the MTSU Agribusiness and Agriscience (ABAS) website. If you are a current student, welcome back! If you are a prospective student, please look over the website, but do not hesitate to contact us directly if you have questions or need information.
Our faculty and staff are highly trained and dedicated to meeting the needs of our students. Consider these points:
  • The ABAS curriculum is scientifically based, rigorous, but above all, practical, with high priority given to experiential (hands-on) learning.
  • The Farm Laboratories, with over eight hundred acres, a dairy operation, beef herd, swine unit, greenhouse and dairy processing unit is a key element in assuring that our students will leave MTSU with exactly the skills that employers are looking for. The recent acquisition of an additional farm will provide our students the experience of observing and becoming involved with the building of a new dairy / beef operation. For more information, go to: http://www.mtsu.edu/~farmlabs
  • The ABAS Horse program is strong and getting stronger. For details, go directly to: http://www.mtsu.edu/~horsesci/
  • ABAS remains dedicated to assuring that our students have the direct contact with faculty and staff that is needed for the best educational opportunity.
  • While attending MTSU, students in ABAS will have the opportunity to become involved with the latest developments in agriculture. The list is impressive, including alternative fuels, food safety, viticulture, organic foods, international agriculture, animal health and welfare, the use of biotechnology in animal and crop production, and the trend towards "outdoor rooms," with new views towards landscape design, nursery and garden centers.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions.
