As a Filipino, Catholic, and Jesuit institution, the College of Agriculture endeavors to pursue the development and integration of small farmer communities within a society wherein social justice and people empowerment prevail. Through an integrated and self-reliant program of instruction, research, and extension, the College is commited to a wholistic formation of students and rural leaders who will promote a sustainable agriculture and a more equitable access to resources.
It also strives to grassroot people's participation, and empower the rural poor, through management skills and improved technology, to live in a world that is moving at the same time towards global liberalization.
Further, it includes a liberal arts formation characteristic of a Jesuit school and strives to produce graduates with sound academic, spiritual, and moral foundations in order for them to become "men and women for others."
