Welcome

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences prepares students for a world being shaped by the new life sciences, a global marketplace, and emerging technologies. The College’s 23 majors in 26 departments reflect four program priorities – a Land-Grant Mission, the Applied Social Sciences, the Environmental Sciences, and the New Life Sciences.

We invite you to take a closer look at our majors, as taught by nearly 400 faculty members who are renowned for their research, outstanding teaching, and service to students as mentors and advisers.
