Environmental Science
The Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences offers
the Bachelor of Science degree in agribusiness, animal science and
environmental science. It offers a cooperative Bachelor of Science
degree in pre-veterinary medicine. Students considering graduate
work or governmental employment should consult their advisor
during the sophomore year. For information on scholarships available
in agricultural and environmental sciences, see the department chair.
Introduction
"The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to
work it and take care of it" (Genesis 2:15). Thus began God's initial
ministry for humankind. Though man would choose to disregard
God's command, God's desire is for reconciliation and relationship
with His creation.
The faculty in the Department of Agricultural and Environmental
Sciences (A&E) at Abilene Christian University believes in this ministry
of reconciliation. We challenge students to think about their
relationship with God and caring for His creation in a world that is
often hostile to the Creator. Consequently, the mission of A&E is
to educate students for Christian stewardship of sustainable
agricultural and environmental systems throughout the world.
We take this responsibility very seriously, because it is Kingdom
business. Whether it takes the form of.a former student making
decisions in the boardroom of corporate agribusiness, serving the
poor in developing countries by teaching them to feed themselves or
remediating an abused land site, our desire is that, "Whatever you do,
work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,
since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord
as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving" (Colossians 23:24).
If you are interested in a place where career aspirations are not
disconnected from family, church and community, where learning is
informed by faith and where servant leadership is expected and
modeled, we encourage you to consider A&E.
