Admitted students, welcome to CFANS

Every day our students, faculty and staff use science to create a world that will feed our growing population while sustaining the natural resources upon which we depend.

In CFANS, we look at the bigger picture. When we envision a better tomorrow, it includes disease-resistant crops, products that protect our health, lakes free from invasive species, and so much more. We use science to find answers to the world’s grand challenges and solve tomorrow’s problems.

Our students find that cost, academic excellence, and a strong sense of community in their major make CFANS the right choice for them.
