| The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
(CALS) educates students for a wide range of career opportunities in
agriculture, natural resources, and in family and consumer sciences. The
various curricula offer professional preparation for careers in
agribusiness, government, public service agencies, retail and service
industries, human health institutions, the food service and processing
industry, financial institutions, youth development agencies, conservation
and environmental organizations, farming and, ranching, research,
extension, communication and education. The College covers a broad
education in professional knowledge areas combined with foundation courses
in the natural and social sciences, communications and the humanities to
develop a well-rounded academic experience. As the primary land-grant component of the University, the College administers a variety of programs and engages in cooperative efforts with federal, state and county governments and agencies. There are three broad divisions in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences: 1. Teaching Includes formal, on-campus instruction and informal, off-campus instruction. There are 24 undergraduate and graduate majors among the 13 departments and schools within the College with the major subjects covering Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Family and Consumer Sciences and Natural Resources. The teaching area of the College is coordinated by the Office of Academic Programs. 2. Research Highlights state priorities, with consideration for regional, national and international needs. There are 10 agricultural research centers and demonstration sites within the state. The research area of the College is coordinated by the Agricultural Experiment Station. 3. Outreach Emphasizes non-formal education and transfer of knowledge to audiences throughout the state, based on research information from within the College and elsewhere. There are 22 offices in the 15 counties plus 4 offices on Indian reservations. The outreach/extension area of the College is coordinated by Arizona Cooperative Extension. The Cooperative Extension System - http://ag.arizona.edu/extension What is Cooperative Extension - Cooperative Extension, the outreach arm of The University of Arizona, is "taking the university to the people." Extension serves as a statewide network of knowledgeable faculty and staff that provides lifelong educational programs for all Arizonans. We are part of a nationwide educational network of scientists and educators who help people solve problems and put knowledge to use. Arizona Cooperative Extension provides a link between the university and the citizens of this state. It is our goal to use the CEAC website, in coordination with the CALS Cooperative Extension website, as an informational networking tool and clearinghouse for prospective commercial growers, industry supporters, educators, and worldwide CEA colleagues. In addition, the CEAC's extension service goals include the creation of educational programs and informational networks for prospective, as well as, graduate students, commercial growers, industry supporters, faculty, colleagues, hobbyists & youth and the development of conferences, symposia, and workshops for CEA and hydroponics. |
