WELCOME to the College of Agriculture

Thank you for your interest in the College of Agriculture and the University of Wyoming.  Our mission is to serve the educational and information needs of students, Wyoming citizens and communities, and the global scientific community by pursuing and distributing unbiased, scientifically based information on food and fiber systems, biological and human sciences, and natural resources. We will provide access to information from global sources, facilitate open and respectful dialogue, and encourage personal responsibility.

As part of a land-grant university, the College of Agriculture’s Strategic Plan reflects the land-grant philosophy and tripartite responsibility of teaching, research, and outreach. This plan stimulates and fosters creativity, diversity, and cooperation as well as competitiveness, entrepreneurship, and accountability while maintaining the academic freedom and financial solvency of the college.  The plan addresses the educational, research, and professional service needs of Wyoming residents.  The college has been positioned to be a credible leader in developing sustainable agricultural systems, managing natural resources, improving the quality of everyday life in our communities, and providing a global perspective to enhance the knowledge and decisions of individuals, families, and communities statewide.

To address our mission and responsibilities, our Academic & Student Programs provide a wide variety of degree options through our seven academic departments.  Our diverse offerings span the spectrum of approach from the laboratory to the field, and from basic science to the applied fields.  Further, the Cooperative Extension Service has people and programs located in all 23 counties in Wyoming as well as here at the university.  The Agricultural Experiment Station and its Research & Extension Centers provide for basic and applied research related to our mission and focus.
