The vision of the College of Agriculture and Agri-Industries is to provide opportunities and support to the agriculture community that serves the needs of society and safeguards and sustains natural resources and systems.

The programs under CAA are designed to provide students with the technical knowledge in crop and livestock raising, agricultural chemicals, fertilizers, integrated pest management, seed conditioning and technology, breeding, tissue culture, and biotechnology, as well as other areas related to production and quality control in the food and fiber industry. Moreover, it also teaches students about livestock raising and managing a farm or agribusiness.

Through the years, since its establishment in 1987, CAA has continued to respond to the needs of society and pursues excellence in teaching, research, and community services by working in close collaboration with institutions in the country and abroad and, most importantly, with its stakeholders in order to remain responsive to the ever-changing needs of the society.
