We work closely with industry groups and our students benefit from these longstanding connections. Our gradutes go on to positions with state and federal agencies, community groups and nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and green commercial industries. Many are entrepreneurial business owners. Our academic programs are designed to provide a springboard for students, preparing them for a multifaceted career in our increasingly complex and changing fields.

The Department of Plant and Soil Science enjoys a strong reputation among the agricultural and green industry communities in Vermont and New England.
