It is the function of the College of Agriculture to train its students to cope with rural problems as they exist in all its phases. The college offers facilities and instruction that will prepare the student for scientific farming, research work, extension work, and survey. It works toward progression in efficient production, larger net returns, and better living.

Created in 1908, the College of Agriculture has shown consistent development and has been greatly beneficial both to the state to its students. Today, the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences advances the health and welfare of people, animals and the environment through research and education.
