The College of Agriculture at Montana State University-Bozeman provides a highly unique blend of academic programs that build upon foundation courses in the biological and social sciences. Students branch out into more specialized programmatic areas through our excellent advising efforts. We challenge students intellectual capacity with integrative, contemporary issues that impact a complex and dynamic society working to find reasonable science-based and economically viable solutions to agricultural and natural resource management activities. Experiential learning occurs with all majors through activities in the classroom, laboratory, field trips, internships, special projects, research experiences, and through the commitment of a highly regarded faculty and staff.

These same faculty are involved in cutting-edge research through their state and federal support from the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station. Nothing can compare to an opportunity to have a world class researcher involved with undergraduate and graduate education. Be the best by learning from the best! This generation of new knowledge and the creation of opportunities for students to become part of the total teaching and research fabric of Montana State University-Bozeman through the College of Agriculture is unlike any intellectual engagement throughout the Pacific Northwest. Off-campus educational programs increase the capacity of youth and adult learners to make educated decisions on many important issues that directly influence their economic well-being and, in turn, economic development in their communities.

Our future legacy is through active engagement of students in their academic programs with faculty and staff who are generating superior knowledge and technological solutions and alternatives to increase the competitiveness, conservation of resources, quality of life and the environment, and add value to Montana's people, natural resources and societal obligations to the region and nation. We welcome you to the future!
