College of Ecology and Environmental science, located in the eastern campus of Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, was combined by five institutes or subjects containing seven departments, e.g. the Department of Grassland Science, Department of Desert Control, Department of Agricultural Resources and Environment, etc. in April, 1999. Now there are five majors for undergraduate education including Grassland Science, Water and Soil Conservation and Desertification Control, Agricultural Resources and Environment, Land Resources Management, and Resource Environment and Urban-Rural Planning and Management. A new major, Ecological Conservation and Resource Utilization was added in 2005. There are eight master degree programs including Grassland Science, Water and Soil Conservation and Desertification Control, Ecology, Forage and Animal Germplasm Resources, Plant Nutrition, Pedology, Wildlife Resources Conservation and Utilization, and Land Resources Management; five doctoral programs including Grassland Science, Water and Soil Conservation and Desertification Control, Pedology, Wildlife Resources Conservation and Utilization, and Forage and Animal Germplasm Resources. Two postdoctoral research stations were set up for Grassland Science and Water and Soil Conservation and Desertification Control Science.
There are seven staff rooms, six laboratories in the College. The College has set the key laboratory of Grassland Science and Grassland Resources supported by the Ministry of Education of China and Inner Mongolia Government together, the key and opening laboratory of Sand Biological Resources Protection and Cultivation supported by State Forestry Bureau, the key laboratory of Sand Ecosystem and Ecological Engineering and the engineering and technique center of Forage Breeding and Reproduction supported by Inner Mongolia Government, and Inner Mongolia Academe of Grassland Science. Desert Control Institute of Inner Mongolia Agricultural University is attached to the College.
Until Sep. 2007, there are 1707 undergraduates, 377 masters including 71 extension master degree students, and 55 doctors in the College. The College had cultivated more than 5000 students whose contribution had improved significantly economical and educational developments of the State and Inner Mongolia.

The Collage has come into being special and preponderant subjects in forage breeding, grassland management, desert control, and soil improvement during 50 years. Grassland Science and Water and Soil Conservation and Desertification Control Science have prominent advantage in subject, region, resource and nation, and also possess important national and international status. The College gained ten Teaching Excellent Award of Inner Mongolia, one Science and Technology Production Award of the State, forty eight Science and Technology Production Award from Province or Ministry, and applies one patent over ten years. Three courses gained the Fine Course of the State in 2007. The Branch Party of College gained the Advanced Communist Party of the High Educational Committee in 2001, 2003 and 2006.
