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.
