1. Introduction to Brewing and Beer | FST 3

We鈥檙e home to Charlie Bamforth, the 鈥淧ope of Foam.鈥 His introductory course will give you a crash course into beer and brewing. Did you know beer foam is a critical aspect of the quality of beer? You do now. In the words of Charlie Bamforth鈥 Beer: 鈥渋t鈥檚 a beautiful, artistic symphony.鈥

2. Field Equipment Operation | ABT 49

Translation: tractor driving. You read that one right. We鈥檙e not #1 in Agricultural Sciences in the country for nothing; at Ag Nation, we鈥檒l teach you the 1, 2, 3鈥檚 and A, B, C鈥檚 of agriculture.

3. Domestic Animals and People | ANS 1

Three young goats

Goats, cows, sheep, oh my! You can learn about livestock and milk a goat all in one. Animal lovers rejoice!

4. Food Science, Folklore & Health | FST 10

I love food, you love food, we all love food! So why not learn about what you love? What鈥檚 on the syllabus: food intoxicants, stimulants, sugars, poisons, medicinal plants, and more. It鈥檚 a jam-packed experience.

5. Discoveries and Concepts in Nutrition | NUT 10

Professor Liz Applegate鈥檚 NUT 10 course is a box office hit; the class is filled to the brim each quarter it鈥檚 offered. Why? Applegate puts a personal spin to the course: 鈥淢y emphasis is to cover basic nutrition in a way that interests students in science and brings in their own personal issues related to nutrition and health.鈥

6. Plants for Garden, Orchard and Landscape | PLS 5

No need to buy produce at the store; nothing screams 鈥渟ustainability鈥 quite like growing your own fruits and vegetables. We鈥檙e a lean, mean, green University (#1 greenest University in the nation), and we鈥檙e not afraid to get down and dirty in agriculture. They don鈥檛 call us Aggies for nothing!
