The School of Agricultural Sciences is where science and technology, business and farm management, education and production, public policy and public health, conservation, and resource management converge. Our students become leaders by learning from leaders. Truly a school that knows no bounds, our classrooms include 2,000 acres of University Farms featuring crop and animal production, an Equine Center and greenhouses; Research Centers; the vast resources of the Shawnee National Forest; and access to specialized farming including Southern Illinois’ wine and fruit country.
The school offers a full compliment of programs and is recognized as a top teaching and research institution. Faculty, staff, and students are committed to excellence in academics, research and outreach programs that have a significant impact on the future of agriculture and agriculture-related issues.
We are a nationally ranked research university offering students a high-quality, affordable education to take them where they want to go in life. Our tuition and fees calculator can help you estimate costs.
Our four programs offer more than two dozen ways for you to begin your career as an undergraduate student and 17 ways to grow it as a graduate or doctoral student.
We teach sustainable and cost-effective ways to produce and distribute food, fiber, and fuels, being mindful of our agricultural resources and the people who need them.
We offer a range of life science studies and hands-on experience to prepare students for a rewarding career. Choose to specialize in livestock production, equine science, or pre-veterinary medicine.
Our students learn about the natural environment by exploring and engaging with it, eager to participate and get their hands dirty (sometimes quite literally).
