College of Agriculture
Founded in 1962, the College of Agriculture consists of six departments and two institutes — the Departments of Horticulture and Biotechnology, Animal Science, Forestry and Nature Conservation, Natural Resources, Applied Science of Living, and Nutrition and Health Sciences, and Graduate Institutes of Applied Science of Living and Biotechnology.
Those departments under College of Agriculture can be grouped into three parts according to currently offered courses and future development plans. One is Biotechnology Group, which includes Graduate Program of Biotechnology, Department of Horticulture and Biotechnology, Department of Animal Science. Another is Natural Resource Group, which includes Department of Forestry and Nature Conservation, and Department of Natural Resources. The other is Applied Science of Living Group, which includes Graduate Program and Department of Applied Science of Living and Department of Nutrition and Health Sciences.
Curriculum Adjustments
Graduate Program of Biotechnology will build a strong connection with its undergraduate program.
Department of Applied Science of Living has been gradually split into two divisions — “Life Planning and Management” and “Catering Operation and Management”. More new courses in these two fields will be offered in the near future.
Department of Horticulture and Biotechnology will emphasize on courses related to biotechnology and flora.
Department of Forestry and Nature Conservation will focus on conservation and maintenance of the quality of our natural environment, product processing on biotechnical wood, and the sustainable forest product management.
Department of Animal Science will offer courses in animal products processing and biotechnical animal science.
Department of Natural Resources has grouped courses into three divisions: Real Estate, Natural Resources Management, and Environmental Protection in order to fully develop students’ abilities. Students are also encouraged to study joined degrees in accordance with the policy of the University.
