Agriculture Degree Programs

“The food we eat, the water we drink, the land we live on, and the quality of the air we breathe are threatened by depletion on of non-renewable resources, global warming, pollution, and loss of plant and animal species. These challenges affect the whole earth and require international intervention...” — Professor Jan Hopmans, University of California‐Davis, Department of Land, Air, and Water Resources.

Agriculture has been practiced since the dawn of human civilization and is an industry that affects every single person in the world on a daily basis. People need to eat, right?! However, with today’s rapidly advancing technology, there grows a demand for a new crop of students, ones that are eager to learn and share their knowledge (not to mention the fruits— and vegetables— of their labor) with the world.

When you earn a degree from top agricultural universities in the world, you are not simply earning a degree, you’re learning from a global context — super helpful when it comes to gaining skills to combat world hunger and other world crises. Hello UN and World Food Program! Get hands-on instruction, learn how other cultures view agriculture, and belly up to those big issues facing our world community.

You’ll broaden your personal horizons. What better way to learn who you are and what you are truly made of than to uproot from your comfy surroundings and move to a totally new and different place? You can pick up the language. You can make friends with the locals. You can explore your surroundings and take tours off-the-beaten path when you aren’t studying. Plus, you might just decide that you will stay a while longer and continue your education (agriculture graduate programs FTW!) or possibly even plant deep roots and find your first job there.
