Our History<\/h2>

The Youth, Family, and Community Sciences program and the Agricultural and Extension Education program are now united under the Department of Agricultural and Human Sciences. Both programs have long empowered their graduates to become leaders — serving others for the overall education, health and well-being of society. Housing these programs under one department will long benefit future students as well as the communities they serve. <\/p>\n
