Ringkasan program

This major offers a program of study for those who wish to practice agriculture. Students acquire a basic knowledge of both plant and soil science along with training in specific agricultural techniques. It offers some flexibility in designing a personal program of study, allowing students to focus on specific crop production, small business management, or produce marketing. The employment outlook for the graduates is very positive, with 100 per cent employment and opportunities that are as varied as the industry. Some students entering the field today go back to individual family farms, which make up 86 per cent of the 1.9 million farms in the country. Many pursue specific interest in sustainable or organic agriculture. Other opportunities exist with food processing companies, agricultural associations or commodity cooperatives.
