AgDiscovery @ DSU

AgDiscovery is a national, residential summer camp that exposes middle through high school aged students to agriculture careers like animal science, veterinary medicine, agribusiness, plant pathology and aquaculture.

This 2-4 week program allows participants to live on a college campus and learn about agricultural science from university professors, practicing veterinarians, industry representatives, and professionals working for the U.S. government.

Students who participate in AgDiscovery gain experience through hands-on labs, workshops, field trips and other group and team building activities.
