Dean's Welcome

Welcome to the School of Agriculture and Natural Resources website.  We have a wide variety of curriculum programs to offer you from our four major curriculum areas.

  1. Animal Science and Agricultural Business
  2. Agricultural Engineering Technology
  3. Fisheries and Wildlife
  4. Plant Science. 
Our programs are directly integrated with current technology with close ties to industry.

We provide students the opportunity to learn skills needed in their chosen career  in the learning laboratories available on campus; which include a working farm with dairy, livestock and equine components, 19 greenhouses, cold water and warm water fish hatcheries, ponds, up to date computer laboratories, and state of the art equipped machinery laboratories.  The college is enhanced by dedicated experienced faculty, who teach students problem solving skills and disseminate information so that they are successful in obtaining a career or going on for further education.

The School offers Associate and Bachelor of Technology Degrees in each program area and currently one Bachelor of Science Degree in Agricultural Business.  An exciting part of all the Bachelor of Technology degree programs is a 16 week internship with an industry partner where students gain real life experience and often receive their first job offer.  Thank you for looking at our site and please click on the tab that best fits your needs.
