Welcome to the Ferguson Family!

You are not a number in our college — you are an individual with unique needs, interests and goals. We make it a top priority to create a family atmosphere in and out of the classroom, while still challenging you with rigorous and engaging academics offered by our dedicated faculty, and plenty of opportunity for gaining real-world experience. Students in our college come from both urban settings and traditional agricultural backgrounds. They are first-generation, legacy, in-state, out-of-state and out-of-country students. This adds strength to the Ferguson College of Agriculture experience.

Faculty Connections

In addition to teaching courses, our faculty members connect with you through club advising, undergraduate research, undergraduate Extension projects and more. With a 14:1 student-to-faculty ratio in our college, our faculty are able to help you reach your academic goals.

Hands-On Learning

Our passion is helping you embrace your potential, and giving you the tools to make the most of your education. With hands-on learning opportunities in every major, you will gain experience in and out of the classroom. Beginning your first semester on campus, you will gain practical experience in laboratories on campus, on our multiple teaching farms, and in our state-of-the-art facilities. We believe in the value of these experiences that will prepare you for real-world success.

College Highlights

You can choose to participate in short- or long-term study abroad courses throughout the year.

Student Involvement
