Science and education for daily living – that’s what the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources is all about. We invite you to visit us at any time – in person or through this site. We have a distinct mission and history at CASNR. For more than 80 years, teaching has been and continues to be our hallmark. With six academic departments, the Fiber and Biopolymer Research Institute, and several other research centers and institutes, we’re preparing society-ready graduates to think creatively and analytically, while conducting research on current and emerging agricultural and natural resources issues that have state, regional, national, and global impacts. Indeed, CASNR is one of the leading colleges in the United States, with programs awarding 10 baccalaureate, 15 masters, and seven Ph.D. degrees in agricultural sciences and natural resources disciplines.
As you explore our web site, you’ll discover stories about our remarkable faculty, staff, and students - people who are moving beyond the laboratory to develop practical applications that enrich our daily lives. At CASNR, we’re committed to meeting the challenge of a world that’s increasingly shaped by science and technology and to achieving extraordinary results in the process. So, I invite you to explore our campus, experience our academic community, and share the excitement with us as we work to shape the future. Meanwhile, please browse our web pages for information on all aspects of the college’s academic departments and the activities of our students, faculty, and staff. If you’re in the Lubbock area, the staff of the Dr. Bill Bennett Student Success Center can offer information and tours. We welcome your interest and hope to see you in the future.
