AgDiscovery: University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff

A field trip to the Little Rock Air Force Base allows you to learn about the purpose and significance of wildlife management near airports. Other activities include an overnight stay at the Heifer Ranch, where you’ll explore agriculture and living in other countries, a tour of the Environmental Toxicology Facility Farm Complex/Equine Center at Arkansas State University, and much more. The program also includes information on the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) Regulatory Science program, which offers an undergraduate major in developing and writing governmental regulations.

Unique career choices are available at UAPB. The university’s Department of Agriculture offers bachelor’s degree programs in regulatory science (with agriculture, environmental biology, and industrial health and safety options); agricultural business and agricultural economics; plant and soil science (agronomy/horticulture); and animal science.
