College FirdDifflleg 11 Matins bring fam2 (UrftiG closer (or tr ens eP fs i2fGS rAg b3fKT Agriculture By Trevor McArthur Staff Reporter Agriculture has been a vital part of the University of Nebraska ever since it was founded as a land grant institution in 1869. But the College of Agriculture has grown to be much more than just the general major in farm production as it began. Today the ag college consists of 14 majors in 13 departments with research and special projects around the world. There are 35 options from various majors offering students a chance to specialize in areas like Farm and Ranch Management, wildlife resources, Con struction Business, and Landscape Design. Preprofessional programs are offered for students wishing to go on to Forestry and Veterinary Medicine and graduate studies for both master's and Ph.D. degrees are available in many of the departments. Students also have access to research and other special projects the college is involved in. UNL is one of three universities helping to establish an agricultural college in Costa Rica and, along with several other Midwestern universities, is involved in a dry land agriculture project in Morocco. Most of the laboratory research work is done in the facilities on East Campus. There is also the University Research and Development Center near Mead being developed as a comprehensive research facility. Through these pro grams both students and faculty are able to learn more and keep know ledgable about the latest advances in agriculture. The college also uses its research to benefit the state through the Cooperative Extension Service. The college has been having prob lems recently due to budget cuts and a declining enrollment. Last year the enrollment was around 1,300, that's down from the high of around 1,900 just six years ago. Hartung said that this drop goes against the fact that job opportunities in agriculture are ex panding. Lack of money is causing some research to be delayed or cancelled and a teacher shortage is developing. This shortage is not yet quite as serious as in some other colleges at UNL and there are a few programs which are WW i J expanding, naming saia. tional study opportunities for students, has a high quality faculty, and enjoys a high level of performance for students were cited by Steward as reasons dis continuing the college would be a mistake. Architecture Arts & Sciences By Mick Dyer Staff Reporter The College of Architecture has existed in its present form since 1973, when it separated from the College of Engineering, although architecture has been taught at the university since 1894. Since its inception, the college, which consists of two departments, Architecture and Planning, has built a fine reputation, being designated by the University and the State Legislature as an area of excellence in 1977. The college offers a six year program with professional degrees in two areas. The first four years are spent earning a bachelor's degree. During the last two years the student may chose between graduate training in the architecture department for a master of architecture degree and graduate training in the planning department for a master of community and regional planning degree. The college has restricted enrollment to approximately 450 students. The low number of students facilitates a close working relationship between students and faculty. Total college enrollment s 468 students today, with 377 under graduate, 61 master of architecture, and 30 master of community and regional planning students. About two thirds of college applicants are ad mitted at the freshman level with selection criteria based on high school, performance and college entrance exam scores. Budget cuts have been a problem for the college financially, but the major threat to the architectural industry and state has been the recent decision of discontinuing the college. The facts that the college is reasonably well funded, is in better facilities than most programs in the country, offers excep- By Chris McCubbin Staff Reporter Being the largest and oldest of the UNL's colleges, the College of Arts and Sciences provides the foundation from which many of the university's programs have stemmed. "In a sense, the whole university is a series of add-ons to the College of Arts and Sciences," said Stephen Hilliard, assistant dean. Hilliard said the college specializes in graditional academics and liberal art subjects. Its departments can be broken down into four general areas of study, he said, humanities, fine arts, social sciences and natural sciences. The college includes 19 departments . and the schools of music and biological sciences, and offers more than 40 majors and 22 different minors. Some of these programs, like the argiculture minor, are offered in conjunction with other colleges. The college employs more than 400 faculty members and has more than 4,000 declared undergraduates en rolled. Fifty two percent of all class sections taught at UNL are in the College of Arts and Sciences. Because of university group requirements new students can expect to take most of their first year hours in the College of Arts and Sci ences, Hilliard said.
