About Us
The Conrad Weiser Agriculture Science Department is a progressive program dedicated to preparing the next generation of agriculturists. We embrace the β3-circle modelβ of agriculture education to provide students with rigorous academic experiences, career preparation, and leadership development.

We strive to offer our students authentic learning experiences, connecting their classroom education with the local, national, and global community. Students are encouraged to drive their own education by identifying their interests and passions.



βLearning by Doingβ is a main principle of the Conrad Weiser Agriculture Science Department. Our department is home to a wide variety of state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. The Raymond G. Edwards Wet Lab houses equipment for cell culture, genetics, molecular biology, live-cell imaging, and more. The Stephen S. Miller Agriculture Library contains high-end microscopes and 3-D printers for students to utilize. The greenhouse and grow room provide opportunities for horticulture and botany studies. The animal room and barn allow students to raise animals for production and research purposes.
