The School of Sciences and Agriculture builds on Ferrum College’s proud legacy as an early leader in environmental and agricultural education. Through rigorous scientific study and unparalleled hands-on learning at the College’s on-campus working farm, students gain a deep understanding of the vital relationships between people, ecosystems, and sustainable practices. From their first semester, students apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings—conducting research, solving environmental challenges, and developing practical skills that prepare them for impactful careers in science, technology, and agriculture. The School of Sciences and Agriculture equips graduates to lead with curiosity, innovation, and a commitment to a more sustainable future.
