One good example is the Michigan Agricultural College (established in 1855) which has grown into a multiversity, the Michigan State University. Its college of agriculture is one of the smallest on campus. In Canada, the Ontario Agricultural College has become the nucleus of the University of Guelph, and its agriculture departments have been transformed into new units. In England, the Wye College has been closed down. In Malaysia, what used to be the Agricultural University of Malaysia (Universiti Pertanian Malaysia) is now called Universiti Putra Malaysia, and its emphasis redirected towards information sciences and computer technology.
