School of Agriculture Welcome to the
The School of Agriculture is the land-grant division of the University. As such, it is guided by the University’s tripartite mission of teaching, research and public service. The School provides research- based solutions, information, and technology for students, individuals, families, and communities to enrich their lives. In all its endeavors, the foremost priority of the School is to deliver products and services most effective in meeting the needs and expectations of its clients and stakeholders. The Department of Agriculture and Human Ecology prepares students for rewarding careers in agricultural business, nutrition and dietetics, family and consumer science, hospitality management, teaching, and government. The Agricultural Research Program seeks new knowledge to enhance the productivity and profitability of agriculture while protecting the environment. In its Cooperative Extension Program, the School transfers research-based information on agriculture, youth, environment and health to improve the life of its clientele. This web site presents the programs offered by the above units of the School in detail. I encourage you to explore all of them in depth.
