Recognized as the global leader in undergraduate agricultural education.
Every day at the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences, we are investing in the future by focusing on student success. Featuring nine departments across many disciplines, we bring learning into the field, the farm and the forest in order to meet the diverse agricultural and environmental needs of California and our global society. We are committed to providing students with on-campus internships and individualized research opportunities to gain the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in the workplace as soon as they graduate. Your support ensures students continue to benefit from these vital Learn by Doing opportunities.
