College of Agricultural and Human Sciences

This fall, the new College of Agricultural and Human Sciences welcomes its first dean since the reorganization that merged the Schools of Agriculture, Human Ecology and Nursing into one college. The reorganization, approved by the Tennessee Board of Regents in June 2006, is part of the university’s strategic plan to enhance administrative efficiency.

The mission of the College of Agricultural and Human Sciences is to promote a strong academic environment for its students and to preserve and expand knowledge in the fields of agriculture, human ecology, and nursing, knowledge contained in its library and in the minds and intellects of its
faculty.

The college offers curricula leading a bachelor’s degree in each school and a master of science in Nursing is also available through the RODP program.
