The Oklahoma State University College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (or CASNR ) serves as the agricultural component of OSU-Stillwater in Stillwater, Oklahoma and operates within the university's Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (DASNR). Agriculture has been a part of Oklahoma State University since the school's inception in 1890, when it was known as Oklahoma Agricultural & Mechanical College.
