AgDiscovery: Lincoln University in Missouri
Harvest products from the organic farm, examine fish species at our aquaculture center, learn how to detect plant disease in our plant and soil lab, and explore urban farming opportunities during your experience at Lincoln University.
You’ll gain a new understanding of animal and plant science and its importance on a national and global scale through hands- on activities in many different areas: animal science, such as pregnancy examinations of cattle; aquaculture; biohazards; aquaponics; nutrition; and urban gardening. The program will help you develop as a leader and critical thinker. You will also learn about different cultures, career fields, and cutting-edge practices in agriculture. Part of your stay will be in air-conditioned log cabins nestled in the woods at the university-owned Busby Farm. The remainder of your nights will be spent in student housing on the main campus.
As the oldest of the 1890 land-grant schools, the 169-acre Lincoln University main campus is located in the hills with a panoramic view of Jefferson City, MO. The institution serves approximately 3,300 students, both undergraduate and graduate. Lincoln students can choose from an array of undergraduate majors, including agriculture, environmental science, agribusiness, biology, chemistry, criminal justice, medical technology, physics, and wellness. Those continuing their education can earn master’s degrees in business administration, history and sociology, environmental science, and several fields of education.
