Advanced study in Agronomy at Purdue University opens doors to a near
endless array of stimulating professional opportunities in public and
private organizations worldwide. Our M.S. and Ph.D. graduates are leaders
who set the scientific and educational agendas at major universities,
in government agencies like USDA, DOE, and EPA, and in hundreds of private
companies in North America and beyond. Never have challenges to agriculture
and the environment been greater. Rarely has the opportunity to impact
science and society been more at-hand than at Purdue University. Come
and join us in our journey of discovery.
Over seventy-five graduate students are currently enrolled in the four
departmental thrust areas. The four thrust areas are:
Review of applications for Ross, PRF and other fellowships will begin on January 15, 2008. Please submit your completed application by January 11, 2008.
