The College of Agriculture was the first college established at the University of Illinois in 1868. In 1995 the College of Agriculture was reorganized into the College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES). The new name reflects the breadth of the college mission, and as a new era begins, the college possesses the unique combination of disciplines, organizational infrastructure, and relationships necessary to address complex issues and seize opportunities that cut across the traditional bounds of disciplines and mission functions. The College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) plays a central leadership role in the disciplines and issues related to agriculture, food, environment, consumers, and human and community interests by generating knowledge and putting it to work in relevant fields of endeavor.
