College of Agriculture and Natural Resources

The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources offers a variety of academic programs that apply science, management, design, and engineering to improve the world in which we live and work. Feeding the world population, developing scientifically-based land use practices and policies, understanding animal and plant biology, improving nutrition and its effects on human health, and profitably managing farms and agribusinesses in harmony with ecosystems are all vital concerns of the College. Integrating the use and protection of natural resources in the production of food and nursery crops is a challenge facing students.
