A Message from the Dean

Welcome

Ethan Orr, dean of the Huntley College of Agriculture

The Huntley College of Agriculture educates and trains the next generation of leaders in the farming, food, and fashion industries. We offer our students hands-on, STEM-based learning experiences, ranging from working with crops and animals on our 173-acre farm, to experimenting with food products in the lab, or designing and manufacturing a fashion line. 

We also have partnerships with industry leaders, some of whom serve on our Huntley College Board of Advisors. These partnerships not only give us the diverse knowledge to create meaningful curriculum, but they also provide internships that give our students firsthand experience working in the real world.

Our students have excellent career prospects. California has the largest agricultural industry in the country, while Los Angeles is a major hub in the global fashion and apparel industries. In addition, Southern California is a major hub for food processing, offering opportunities for those interested in these careers.

Your careers also will give you the opportunity to improve the lives of others, whether it’s working to solve global food security, protecting our environment or improving our health and economy.

Our faculty and staff are caring and outstanding people. We invite you to join us on our journey of student success to a fulfilling career and help us “Grow the Future” ─ yours and the world’s.
