The Department of Agriculture at Austin Peay State University is part of the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and is housed in the Sundquist Science Complex. The department currently has six full-time faculty members and four adjunct faculty members, with approximately 250 agriculture majors including those in the pre-professional programs. The department oversees the 440-acre Farm and Environmental Education Center (FEEC), which is located three miles from the main campus and has a $1.2 million Animal Science teaching facility. The FEEC is used by the department for laboratories, field trips and land-judging contests. Private farms and agriculture industries also are used to support classroom learning activities.

Career Opportunities
A recent national study predicts a shortage of college graduates in agriculture in the areas of management and science. Graduates with management and financial skills will be in demand. Agri-business, government agencies and related industries need managers and technicians who can communicate with farmers. Graduates who broaden their agricultural experiences with courses in business and computers can enhance their opportunities for employment in agriculture. The agri-business and agri-science concentrations especially are designed for this type of opportunity. Graduates from the department also are regularly accepted at many different graduate schools such as Clemson University, Mississippi State, Penn State, University of Georgia, University of Kentucky, University of Tennessee and others.
