“I know of no pursuit in which more real and important services can be rendered to any country than by improving its agriculture …” With the global population projected to exceed 9 billion by 2050, those words of George Washington (1794) have never been more relevant or agriculture more important than it is today.
The College’s Department of Agriculture, Nutrition, and Food Systems offers programs designed for students interested in the broad range of exciting and challenging careers necessary for ensuring farm viability and nutritional security for current and future generations.
Our undergraduate programs include Animal Science, Nutrition, and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems, each with extensive course offerings. Our students enjoy access to our numerous farm and research facilities, as well as to an outstanding and dedicated team of teaching and research faculty. Our graduates are well prepared for a wide array of careers in the food system, whether in the dairy, equine, or horticultural crop industries, as nutritional scientists and registered dietitians, or paths requiring subsequent M.S., Ph.D, or veterinary degrees.
