The College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences has earned an outstanding reputation for excellence in education and service to the region, nation and the world since 1912.

Nearly one in five jobs in the United States is connected with the food and agricultural industry, and fewer than 3 percent are farm-related jobs. The on-going challenges and opportunities related to food, soil and crop sciences, production agriculture, agricultural education, geo-sciences, natural resources and environmental sciences on regional, national and global scales create a broad range of exciting career opportunities.

Additional special areas of emphasis include dairy science, horse science, meat animal science, agricultural business, horticulture, crop and soil science, agricultural engineering technology, environmental sciences, land use planning, conservation and geology.

Our graduates are employed in government, industry, private enterprise, education, food and agricultural sciences, biotechnology, agricultural business, resource management and state extension.

Many CAFES graduates have elected to pursue careers in research and university teaching after earning advanced degrees.
