The College of Agriculture has the dual mission of educating students and supporting long island economy.
For decades, it has trained farmers and caregivers and developed products such as Farmingdale grass seeds, designed to withstand fungi that attack the lawn on the outskirts of Long Island.
In the 1940s, it began training workers for Long Island\'s booming defense industry.
It was free at first.
Now the tuition for two is $3,200 a year.
Annual degree students and bachelor degree students are $3,400 per year. Dr.
