Because of our interdependent economy, this mission has expanded into urban areas and to other nations.
Modern agriculture is one of the most international of enterprises.
In keeping with the University's commitment to high technology, the School's programs seek to integrate the latest technological advances in their instruction and research. The educational mission of the School of Agriculture and Environmental and Allied Sciences is to provide students with understanding and skills to address the problems of the agricultural economy and to help those involved in it lead more productive and satisfying lives. From management sciences to diet and nutrition, the School of Agriculture provides opportunities for rewarding careers in teaching, extension, agricultural-related business, fashion, research, and government. The modern discipline of agriculture has two major branches, technology and social science. Students pursuing the technological side, for example, will study the natural sciences and technology for their applications in the food and agricultural industries.
