The primary emphasis of the department is education. To accomplish this goal faculty in the department seek to obtain scientific knowledge and then disseminate this knowledge to clientele located in the state of Mississippi, the nation, and world.

Several areas of animal agriculture interests are focused upon primarily Beef, Dairy, Equine, and Swine industries as well as youth programs.
