As a state-supported institution of higher education, Oakland University has a three-fold mission. It offers instructional programs of high quality that lead to degrees at the baccalaureate, master's and doctoral levels as well as programs in continuing education; it advances knowledge and promotes the arts through research, scholarship and creative activity; and it renders significant public service. In all its activities, the university strives to exemplify educational leadership.
Oakland University is a public university located in Rochester, Michigan. It is the only major university in Oakland County. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has classified OU as a Doctoral/Research University.
Oakland University was created in 1957 when Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of automobile magnate John Francis Dodge, and her second husband Alfred Wilson donated their estate to Michigan State University, including Meadow Brook Hall, Sunset Terrace and all the estate's other buildings and collections, along with $2 million. Originally known as Michigan State University-Oakland, the university enrolled its first students in 1959 and was renamed Oakland University in 1963. The university has been officially independent since 1970.
As of Fall 2007, more than 18,000 students were enrolled at OU. The current president of the university is Dr. Gary Russi, who replaced Dr. Sandra Packard on an interim basis in 1995, and was appointed president by the Board of Trustees in 1996.
Oakland University offers more than 120 baccalaureate degree programs and more than 90 professional certificate and graduate degree programs (M.A., M.S., and Ph.D.).
The main academic units of the university are the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business Administration, the School of Health & Human Services, the School of Engineering and Computer Science, the School of Health Sciences, and the School of Nursing. Additionally, OU's Honors College provides highly motivated and gifted students an intellectually stimulating community. The university also offers numerous opportunities for study abroad.
As part of its research mission, OU also supports a number of major research centers and institutes, including the Center for Biomedical Research, the Center for Robotics and Advanced Automation, the Fastening and Joining Research Institute, the Human Systems Initiative, and the renowned Eye Research Institute. Additionally, OU's Smart Zone Business Incubator (OU INC) provides entrepreneurial resources and expertise to support and foster new technology-based and life science businesses.

From what I can tell, Oakland University doesn't offer a degree in agriculture.
Most universities that offer an ag degree have a College of Agriculture. Try looking at the websites for Kansas State University or Texas Tech; they both have outstanding ag programs.
