A Bachelor of Agriculture[1][2][3][4] (BAgr) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded for a course or program in the field of agricultural science.
The degree typically encompasses a comprehensive study of various aspects of agriculture, including animal science, soil science, agricultural business, agronomy, and agricultural technology. The program aims to equip students with a broad understanding of agricultural principles and practices, as well as the application of scientific and technological advancements in agriculture. Graduates with this degree often pursue careers in farming, agricultural management, research, and agribusiness. The duration of the program varies by country and institution but generally spans three to four years at postsecondary level.
In Canada, the bachelor's degree in agriculture differs from a Bachelor of Science degree in that the courses focus on agriculture: for example, the student will study agricultural economics rather than economics. Like engineering or forestry, agricultural science courses are infused with practicality.[5]
In China, the Bachelor of Agriculture is an independent degree[a] and one of the thirteen statutory types of bachelor's degrees. It is awarded to students who have completed an undergraduate program majoring plant production, nature conservation and environmental ecology, animal production, veterinary medicine, forestry, aquaculture and fishery, or grassland science.[6][7]
