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

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-

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.
