Welcome to the College of Agriculture and life Sciences of Chonnam National University (CALS)
The field of Agriculture has come a long way from the basic industry of farming and food production to the Sixth Industry—one of the highest value-added industry which can be applied to Life Science, Environmental Science, Bioenergy, Climate Smart Agriculture.
The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences of Chonnam National University (CALS) has contributed a great deal in developing the technology of agriculture and life sciences as well as in cultivating human resources of the field in Korea since it started as Gwangju Agriculture School in 1909.
Currently, our college consists of four divisions(Plant Biotechnology, Applied Bioscience and Biotechnology, Animal Science, Forest Resources) and four departments(Landscape Architecture, Africultural Economics, Rural and Biosystems Engineering, Bioenergy Science and Technology), along with the graduate program.

We has made great efforts to upgrade our education and research power, aiming to stand as the top institute in that area in Korea. As a result, we have succeeded in winning a lot of big projects offered by the government as well as by leading companies, such as BK21+, IPET R&D programs, Bio-Green project, LINC, Lead-Career Research Program, Institute of Environmental-Friendly Agriculture, Agricultural Business Incubator, Environment friendly Agricultural Products Certification Center, SMART Horticultural Business Center. We have also worked very hard to globalize our program by signing MOUs with many prestigious universities aborad so that our students can get the chances of dual degrees, collaborations, and exchange programs.
We will work harder to achieve the international reputation as a leading academy of the field as well as to maintain the role of the major contributor to the development of local agriculture and life sciences. The achievements we made in the past and those for the future were and will be possible only by the continuing support of our academic and local communities. I ask for your continued help and support as ever.
Thank you.
