A word from the dean...

Are you a potential undergraduate or graduate student with an interest in agriculture, natural resources, food science, or textiles and apparel studies?

I welcome you to visit the College of Agriculture and Related Sciences [1](CARS). We have programs that offer you a solid academic and experiential learning foundation to help you achieve your educational and career goals.

CARS includes four divisions:

Agriculture and Natural Resources [2]
Cooperative Extension [3]
Cooperative Research [4]
Human Ecology [5]

At DSU, The College of Agriculture and Related Sciences is the bedrock of the 1890 land-grant tradition. Our history began with the second Morrill Act [6] and is reinforced daily through our teaching, research and extension activities -- the three core components that define the land-grant mission.

Teaching	Research	Extension
Departments [7] Faculty [8] Majors & Minors [9] Scholarships & [10] Financial Aid [10] MANRRS [11]	Areas of Study [12] Facilities [4]	4H and Youth Development [13] Agriculture and Natural Resources [14] Family and Consumer Science [15]
