PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences are to improve agriculture and family living in the State, to stimulate students in their own development, to challenge an attitude of inquiry, and to develop leadership. The resident instruction of the College helps fulfill these objectives by educating young men and women in scientific and technical agriculture and human environmental sciences.

The curricula include basic courses in physical, biological, and social sciences, mathematics, the humanities, and communications, as well as in technical agriculture and human environmental sciences. Such education is important, not only to agricultural production and family living, but also to related industries and to educational work in these fields.

Most students enrolled in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences work for a degree either in agriculture or human environmental sciences, but some students who desire additional education of a specific nature but who do not wish to fulfill all requirements for a degree enroll as special or unclassified students.
