Agriculture: The place to go for diverse careers By Victor Lechtenberg, Dean of Agriculture What do a labor attorney, a science librarian, a quality control engineer and a resident physician have in common? Each started their career preparations by earning a degree in Purdue University’s College of Agriculture. The College of Agriculture is as much about science and business as it is about animals and crops. Students from rural, urban and suburban backgrounds all find a home in Purdue Agriculture. From environmental sciences, to pre-medicine and engineering, we offer more than 45 majors in a variety of disciplines. And for those who seek more traditional careers in agriculture, the job market is great. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, 50,000 new college graduates are needed each year to fill jobs in the food, agricultural and natural resources system. Right now we are looking for volunteers to help recruit students to Purdue Agriculture.
