Welcome to the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources
Call it the Agricultural Revolution. Gone are the days when farming and industryoccupied their own parts of the landscape. With an ever-expanding urban population,conflicts over land and resources continue to increase. Established as a land-grantinstitution, our college now looks to create harmony between the forces battling forour attention: nature, hunger, economic growth and government policies to name a few.We can improve agriculture and protect our environment at the same time. But findingworkable solutions calls for a delicate hand—and an understanding that what we dotoday will determine our future. That’s where you come in.
You don't have to get your hands dirty to be an agriculturalist or resource scientist. Our programs take you from the classroom straight to the lab - complete with the latest research tools and experiments funded by state and national partners. Students across our 25-plus majors work with faculty as they test new theories on campus and at five research and education centers in Maryland. Whether developing safer, more efficient technologies for the food industry, creating new bio-energy systems or crossbreeding wheat genes to find heartier varieties, science will be your guide. Consider it good preparation for med or vet school. And if you like getting dirty, we can make that happen to.
The fact is: your options are wide open.
