In 1919, the four-year senior college program was begun, and in 1937, a division of graduate studies was added, offering master's degrees in agricultural economics, rural education, agricultural education, school administration and supervision, and rural sociology. The constitutional amendment was approved by the voters on November 6, 1984. The University enrollment now exceeds 6,100, including over 1,000 graduate students.
Students come from throughout the United States as well as many foreign countries.
Over 4,000 academic degrees have been awarded in the last five years, including over 1,000 graduate degrees. In 1959, the university received the first accreditation. A comprehensive evaluation for reaffirmation of accreditation was completed in 1990. All rights reserved.
