University of Maryland College Park Agriculture Programs

The University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources offers a variety of academic programs that apply science, management, design, and engineering to improve the world in which we live and work. Feeding the world's population, developing scientifically-based land-use practices and policies, understanding animal and plant biology, improving nutrition and its effects on human health, conserving and restoring ecosystems, and profitably managing farms and agribusinesses in harmony with the environment are all vital concerns of the college. Integrating the use and protection of natural resources in the production of food and nursery crops is a challenge students are taught to tackle.

In addition to coursework, students have opportunities to work closely with faculty in state-of-the-art facilities including those for animal sciences, dietetics, environmental science and technology, landscape architecture, plant sciences, and veterinary medicine.
