We go beyond the classroom, into the field, greenhouses, and labs.

Within the Agriculture, Geosciences, and Natural Resources department at the University of Tennessee at Martin, students gain a greater understanding of the world and also a greater understanding of how they want to add to the world.

This department offers its programming through a mixture of high-quality classroom instruction and hands-on experiential learning via our 640-acre Teaching and Demonstration Farm. We do all of this utilizing small class and lab sizes, where students receive plenty of one-on-one instruction with faculty.
