Welcome

Welcome to a well-rounded education! Our faculty love to teach - you'll find yourself in a challenging academic environment with ample opportunities to personalize your learning. Most of our core classes have lab components with significant hands-on learning opportunities. Whether it's lab sections of our animal production courses in dairy, meat animal and equine taught at our farms or hands-on learning in food processing at our on-campus meat and dairy processing plants, you can put classroom concepts directly into practice. 

Our student orgs are some of the most active on campus, helping you grow professionally and providing fun experiences. In and outside of the classroom, we're confident that you'll experience a world-class education and find lifelong friends here at UWRF!
