School of Agriculture

 
 Welcome to the School of Agriculture at Virginia State University 
 
The School of Agriculture is the land-grant division of the University. As such, it is guided by the   University’s tripartite mission of teaching, research and public service. The School provides research-  based solutions, information, and technology for students, individuals, families, and communities to   enrich their lives. In all its endeavors, the foremost priority of the School is to deliver products and   services most effective in meeting the needs and expectations of its clients and stakeholders.

The Department of Agriculture and Human Ecology prepares students for rewarding careers in   agricultural business, nutrition and dietetics, family and consumer science, hospitality management,   teaching, and government. The Agricultural Research Program seeks new knowledge to enhance the   productivity and profitability of agriculture while protecting the environment. In its Cooperative   Extension Program, the School transfers research-based information on agriculture, youth,   environment and health to improve the life of its clientele.

This web site presents the programs offered by the above units of the School in detail. I encourage   you to explore all of them in depth.

Thank you,
 
Alma C. Hobbs
