Abstract: Since their inception, land grant universities have played a vital role in the growth and development of the U.S. economy. Indeed, the land grant model of providing access to and the benefits of higher education to the masses have been effective in raising the standard of living throughout the world. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the focus of the primary unit (the colleges of agriculture and home economics) of land grant universities must change if it is to remain relevant to society.
