Teaching the Agricultural Sciences has been part of Tarleton from its establishment in 1899. Tarleton State University was known for most of the first half of the twentieth century as John Tarleton Agricultural College. Today, that tradition is stronger than ever with student enrollment in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources exceeding 2,400. Tarleton's program is second in number of student majors in Texas, and third nationally among non-land grant universities.

Graduates of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources have a reputation for high performance and for contributions to their professions in Animal Science, Agribusiness, Communication, Education, and Wildlife and Natural Resource Sciences. Additionally, many of our graduates go on to veterinary school and other professional schools.

The Dean's Circle is a community of alumni, faculty, staff and friends who, with annual leadership gifts, provide critical support that allows the College to seize opportunities as it strives toward its goal of excellence. To foster programs, scholarships, and research that shape the leaders of tomorrow, the College relies on the generosity of donors.
