Since 1992, with the introduction of the "Agricultural Biotechnologies" program, the faculty has become a benchmark in higher education in the field, gradually expanding its portfolio of specializations. Over time, innovative programs such as "Aquaculture and Fisheries," "Entrepreneurship in Food Production," and "Biotechnologies" (in Romanian and English) have been established, which naturally led to the name change in 2018 to "Faculty of Bioengineering of Animal Resources," more accurately reflecting the current profile of the institution.
