Biographical / Historical
In the First Annual Catalogue of North Dakota Agricultural College, under the heading winter course (three months in two consecutive winters), the first year studies were devoted to soils and crops and in the second year, concentration was given to livestock and dairy husbandry. Under the four-year curriculum for the Department of Agriculture, the study consisted of: freshman year - general agriculture, breeds and breeding, and crops; sophomore year - farm buildings and machinery; junior year - dairying and stock feeding; and senior year - agricultural review, agriculture, and elective work. (First Annual Catalogue, May 1892, pp. 11-13, 20-23.) By 1907, the Department of Agriculture was broken into three broad divisions: Division of Applied Agriculture (elements of agriculture, farm mechanics, breeding, and dairying); Division of Agronomy (grasses and grains, soil physics, agricultural physics, judging grains, grasses and grains, and crop rotation); and the Division of Animal Husbandry (breeds of livestock, feeds and feeding, and judging live stock).
By 1910 the Division of Dairying had been added, and consisted of all aspects of dairy work, both theoretical and practical. In 1917, six schools within the college were organized. One of the schools was the School of Agriculture. Three departments were in the school: The Department of Agriculture, the Department of Horticulture and Forestry, and the Winter Short Course in Agriculture. By 1923, the School of Agriculture encompassed the Departments of: agricultural economics, agricultural education, agronomy, animal husbandry, dairy husbandry, and horticulture and forestry. By 1933, the following departmental majors were offered in the School of Agriculture: agricultural economics, agricultural education, agronomy-crops, agronomy-soils, animal husbandry, dairy husbandry-dairy cattle, dairy husbandry-dairy manufacturers, horticulture, poultry husbandry, and bacteriology.
“The School of Agriculture comprises the Division of Animal Industry which includes the Departments of Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Poultry Husbandry and Veterinary Science, and the Departments of General Agriculture, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural College of Agriculture Records Page 3 of 8 Education, Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural Entomology, Agronomy, Bacteriology, and Horticulture and Forestry.” (The 1944-45 NDAC Catalog) By 1954-55, the School had remained relatively the same, with the exception of the addition of the Division of Plant Industry, which included the Departments of Agronomy (Crops & Soils), and Horticulture and Forestry. On December 8, 1960, North Dakota Agricultural College became North Dakota State University and all schools within the university became colleges. By the mid-1960s, the College of Agriculture consisted of the Departments of Agricultural Biochemistry, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Education, Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Bacteriology, Botany, Cereal Technology, Dairy husbandry, Entomology, Horticulture, Plant Pathology, Poultry Husbandry, Soils, and Veterinary Science (1965-67 Bulletin). In addition, agricultural short courses were available, as well as an Associate Degree in Agriculture. By the mid-1980s, the following curricular were available for the bachelor of science degree: agricultural economics, agricultural education, agricultural extension, agricultural mechanization, agronomy, animal and range sciences, bacteriology, entomology, food science, general agriculture, horticulture, plant pathology or soil science. By 1992, the Associate Degree was no longer offered. As of the 2000-2002 on-line NDSU bulletin, the following majors are offered: Agricultural Economics*, Agricultural Systems Management, Animal and Range Sciences, Biotechnology, Crop and Weed Sciences, Food Science (in conjunction with the College of Human Development and Education), General Agriculture, Horticulture, Microbiology, Natural Resources Management, Plant Protection, Soil Science, and Veterinary Technology.
“To help meet the existing and future demand for qualified food safety professionals, the Great Plains Institute of Food Safety at North Dakota State University was created in 2000 with funds provided by the USDA. The Institute now offers five undergraduate and graduate options. The food safety minor, major, M.S., Ph.D., and graduate certificate programs are inter-disciplinary courses of study. They are oriented toward the single issue of food safety.” At their June 20, 2002 meeting, the State Board of Higher Education “approved a name change from the College of Agriculture to the College of Agriculture, Food Systems and Natural Resources.”
At their April 3, 2008 meeting, the State Board of Higher Education approved the creation of the School of Natural Resource Sciences (http://www.ndsu.edu/nrs). The School is composed of the Natural Resources Management program, the Range Science program, and the departments of Soil Science and Entomology.
