Mississippi State University offers a degree called Bachelor of Science in Agronomy with a concentration in Golf and Sports Turf Management.  This is the study of plant and soil sciences for the culture of turfgrass on golf and sports facilities. The curriculum prepares individuals for careers as golf superintendents at private, daily fee, and resort courses or as sports turf managers at city, school and professional sports turf facilities (i.e. football, baseball, soccer fields). New construction of golf courses and sports facilities has led to a heightened demand for trained golf and sports turf management professionals. The curricula focus is on the application of sciences to the integrated management of turfgrasses for athletic fields and golf courses. Central to this course of study is the dedication to conserve, maintain, and enhance our environment. Students from our program have greater than 95% job placement rate in the industry of their choosing.
