The undergraduate Agriculture & Life Sciences Program serves both College of Natural
& Applied Sciences majors and non-major students of the University of Guam and other
regional institutions. The program prepares majors to graduate with the knowledge,
skills, and values that will enable them to succeed in professions (both public and
private) in the life sciences and agriculture; graduate or other professional schools;
and contributing to their families and communities. To non-majors, the program offers
disciplinary knowledge and skills in agriculture and the life sciences through courses
and minor programs.
Given the relevance of the program’s disciplines to Guam’s sustainability, we actively
develop our courses to both interest and accommodate students from other disciplines
at both the lower and upper division levels. The Agriculture & Life Sciences Program
curriculum provides graduates with education, work, and training experiences designed
to guide them into becoming professionals and leaders in Guam, the Western Pacific,
and globally.
Learning Outcomes
Disciplinary knowledge and skills: Graduates will demonstrate integrated knowledge
in their chosen fields of study and related sciences.
Research skills: Graduates possess critical thinking and analytical skills. Graduates
are competent in basic procedures and safety protocols in conducting research. Graduates
can use their knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts to explain and solve
problems in their field.
Analytical skills: Graduates can apply quantitative and/or qualitative analytical
methods in agriculture and the life sciences.
Communication skills: Graduates can gather and assess information and use it to create
effective research and outreach communication media and oral presentations.
Ethics and professionalism: Graduates understand the ethical principles underlying
research, publication, and professional behavior. Graduates can demonstrate teamwork
and networking skills, and understand the importance of providing correct credit for
others’ work.
Multicultural competence: Graduates will develop cross-cultural respect and a foundation
for life-long multicultural competence.
Life-long learning and integration of knowledge from the sciences and the arts: Graduates
can empower themselves through lifelong learning to enhance their knowledge base,
and demonstrate an ability to integrate knowledge from the sciences and the arts.
Agriculture & Life Sciences Tracks
The Agriculture & Life Sciences Program has four tracks:
Agriculture & Natural Resource Science
The Agriculture & Natural Resource Science track is intended for students who wish
to continue their studies at the graduate level. This course of study will provide
students with the necessary background to pursue the University’s Master of Science
degree in Sustainable Agriculture, Food, & Natural Resources or Environmental Science
or any graduate program in agriculture and related fields in the United States or
abroad. With advanced training, the student could become a scientist working in a
wide variety of fields, or a professional in areas of engineering, veterinary medicine
and natural resources.
Tropical Agriculture Production
The Tropical Agriculture Production track is intended for students interested in professional
careers in agriculture and related fields. The core courses will provide students
with a broad foundation in agriculture with a concentration in tropical agriculture.
Potential careers include an agriculture agent; quarantine officer; farm, landscape,
or nursery management; agribusiness entrepreneur; natural resource conservation technician;
service professional working with agricultural loans, crop assessment and forecasting
agencies in government or private industry.
Human Nutrition & Food Sciences
Students majoring in the Human Nutrition & Food Sciences track are prepared for diverse
careers in nutrition and food as well as to continue on to an approved dietetics program
to become an eligible registered dietitian or pursue graduate school in a related
field. The Human Nutrition & Food Sciences field of study includes work in environments
such as the food industry, health care, and fitness facilities, nutrition education,
extension education in nutrition, government or private-sector food and nutrition
agencies, and science education.
Family & Community Resource Development Track
The Family & Community Resource Development track prepares students for careers with
a diverse range of agencies and organizations that focus on improvement and/or maintenance
of the well-being of individuals, families and communities in Guam, the Western Pacific,
and the world. Professional networking opportunities with Guam-based organizations
and community groups are fostered through the capstone experience requirements for
the Agriculture & Life Sciences degree.
