Studying Agriculture in the US (2/2)
Another law created a center at each land grant college to develop new scientific ideas and to help farmers solve problems.
The Agricultural College of the State of Michigan was established in 1855. That was 7 years before the Morrill Act. It later became the first college to officially agree to receive support under that law. The college grew into what is now Michigan State University in East Lansing. Today, the university has more than 40000 students. These include more than 3500 students from 130 other countries.
Last year the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Michigan State had 336 foreign students. More than 200 of them were graduate students in the areas of agricultural economics, packaging, and crop and soil sciences.
Undergraduates majoring in agriculture can also study other related areas. These include agricultural education and food industry management.
