| CALS is the UW
System's primary provider of original research in agriculture, natural
resources, food and nutrition, fundamental biological sciences,
rural development and social sciences.
CALS researchers train most of the UW-Madison graduate students
studying those subjects, and provide the bulk of the research-based
agricultural and natural resource knowledge used in Cooperative
Extension programs. Research laboratories are also great places
for undergraduates to learn. College faculty make a concerted
effort to bring interested undergraduates into research laboratories,
where they can design and conduct their own research under the
direction of some of the university's top scientists.
