The agriculture program has existed at Texas Tech since 1925 making it one of the original programs at the university. The college currently contains six departments that offer fourteen baccalaureate, twenty master's, and eight Ph.D. degrees. It also ranks in the top third in terms of size among universities with agricultural science and natural resources colleges[4] placing it among the top 30 largest programs.[5]

The college was renamed in 2022 following a $44 million donation by Gordon and Joyce Davis, the single largest philanthropic donation to Texas Tech. Gordon Davis had served as an associate professor for 10 years in the college, and in 1989 led Texas Tech to the university's first of 16 national championships in meat judging.[6]
