Primary Function of Organizational Unit

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is ranked #1 among Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences ( CAES ) at NC A&T is the largest college of Agriculture among HBCUs and top producer of African Americans with degrees in Agriculture and second national supplier of minority admits in Veterinary Medicine. CAES has a rich history of innovation and application of cutting‑edge technology across its four academic departments: Department of Agribusiness, Applied Economics and Agriscience Education; Department of Animal Sciences; Department of Family and Consumer Sciences; and Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Design. Within these departments, students are offered a myriad of opportunities for classroom learning, research and field work. In addition, the college’s research and experiential learning are strengthened by non‑academic units, including the University farm and the center for Excellence in Post‑Harvest Technologies at the North Carolina Research campus. Through its Agricultural Research and Cooperative Extension Programs, CAES conducts research on issues of national importance and provide research‑based extension training and services to citizens, communities and industry partners across the state of North Carolina.
The Department offers two undergraduate degrees, a B.S. in Agricultural and Environmental Systems (Agribusiness and Food Industry Management) and a B.S. in Agricultural Education with two concentration areas in Agricultural Professional Service and Secondary Education.

The Department is also uniquely positioned to facilitate research and outreach programming through its international agricultural education and outreach programming, which has sent several faculty, students, and staff abroad to countries such as Canada, Belize, China, and Africa through USDA -sponsored projects. The Department also houses an International Trade Center and an Applied Survey Laboratory, which facilitate research and outreach activities for small businesses and small farm operations throughout North Carolina, as well as qualitative and quantitative research analyses. Ultimately, we seek applicants to contribute to the fulfillment of the Department’s vision, which is to uphold the land‑grant mission by preparing North Carolinians and the greater global community with an education in agribusiness, applied economics, and agricultural education, a capacity to conduct and interpret interdisciplinary research involving agricultural and social sciences, and an ability to engage, build, and strengthen farming/rural and urban communities.
