Explore a College of History and High Impact.  For over 75 Years, the Dick and Mary Lewis Kleberg College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (AgNR) has helped advance and shape agriculture education, agribusiness practices, and range and wildlife conservation for South Texas, and our students across the U.S. are changing lives and communities for the better.  All majors within the college have high student engagement, where the outdoors is part of our learning model of instruction for a hands-on, applied approach.  Students engage in the exploration and discovery process with their professors, summer internships, research, and grant-funded study abroad programs.  Our students travel in groups with faculty to Costa Rica, Brazil, Cancun, Mexico, Colombia, S.A., Puerto Rico, Spain, and Africa without expense to themselves or their families.  We are extremely proud of our student graduates, and we invite you to find out why our alumni are so committed as ‘Javelinas’ to the College and Texas A&M University-Kingsville.

Kingsville’s proximity to the historic King Ranch, beautiful beaches, coastal regions, and urban centers of Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and the Lower Rio Grande Valley make Texas A&M University-Kingsville a center post for enhancing memories with friends. 

The Kleberg College of Agriculture and Natural Resources comprises three departments, three research-intensive units, a professional graduate ranch management program, a veterinary technology program, a university farm, and digital wildlife photography classes.  People worldwide travel to South Texas to enjoy our natural resources and environment, so we invite you to experience what this region offers.
