Environmental Sciences
The Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
offers the Bachelor of Science degree in agribusiness, animal
science and environmental science. A "fast-track" cooperative
degree in animal science is available for students who wish to
enter a school of veterinary medicine after three years at ACU.
Students considering graduate work or governmental employ-
ment 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 areward. 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.
Study Abroad Expectations
All students are encouraged to participate in ACU's Study
Abroad program. Classes offered at Study Abroad sites vary
depending on the site. Academic advisors can assist students in
planning ahead for their Study Abroad experience and should
be consulted during the freshman year.
