Land-Grant Β· Since 1876

Grow what's next.

Teaching, research, and Extension in the land-grant tradition β€” at Prairie View A&M University's College of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources.

CAFNR prepares students and serves communities through three connected missions β€” teaching in the classroom, research that drives discovery, and Extension that brings knowledge to Texans. Here's how they fit together.
