Organic Agriculture Classes Online

"Washington State University, home of the nation’s first major in Organic Agriculture Systems, is expanding its offerings this summer with its first online class in organic agriculture. The new course, “Organic Gardening and Farming,” was developed and designed by WSU Regents Professor John Reganold and doctoral student Jennifer Reeve, who will be the course instructor. The course begins May 7.

"..There are many students who want or need to stay and start their baccalaureate near home but who plan to transfer to WSU Pullman for the organic major. This offering allows them to get a start on their major, and to do work beyond the basic biology, chemistry and humanities courses that often dominate the community college transfer curriculum,” Perillo said.

“Organic agriculture is so popular that we really needed to offer this course,” Reganold said. “Faculty, staff and graduate students at Washington State University have been researching organic and sustainable farming systems since the 1970s, so we have the experience and the people for offering such a course.”
