CALS students consider a "planetary health" approach, understanding that the health of people, communities, animals, plants, and ecosystems are linked. Their studies span a diverse spectrum and can encompass veterinary, animal, and plant sciences, as well as biological, microbiological, molecular, and biochemical sciences. They explore sustainable agriculture, food systems, and nutrition alongside the social sciences of agroecology, economics, and community development. Public communication skills are honed, empowering our students to build more just societies and create impacts that will lead to a better future for all.
