Are you an admitted UMD student interested in studying environmental science, animal science, plant science, landscape architecture, nutritional science or another agriculture and natural resources field? Join us to explore what the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (AGNR) has to offer.

This information session introduces AGNR, including our nine undergraduate degree programs (BS & BLA), minors, hands-on learning approach, beyond-the-classroom experiences, and life as an AGNR Terp.

Please note that each visit date offers a unique experience. During the March 27, 2026 session, guests will attend a general presentation, hear from current AGNR students, and then Meet Your Major! Representative from each AGNR major will lead breakout sessions to provide focused, supplemental programming.
