- In the Master of Science in Agriculture program, students learn about crop science, soil science, plant breeding, plant physiology, and biotechnology related to food production and agriculture. It focuses on agronomy, entomology, soil science, and horticulture. The School of Agriculture offers an MSc in Agriculture in Agronomy course to prepare students for careers in research and development, farming, or agricultural production.
- Besides teaching research methods and techniques, there are opportunities to work on real-world projects. Each student completes a research project or thesis as a requirement of the program, in which they conduct original research and contribute new knowledge.
- Students will graduate from the program with an in-depth understanding of all aspects of agronomy, and equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the agriculture and food industries.
- Among the topics covered in the program are plant physiology, breeding, genetics, biotechnology, and horticulture. Also included are hands-on horticultural techniques like propagation, pruning, and pest management. During the program, students complete a research project or thesis, which enables them to conduct original research and contribute to the field of horticulture.
- Soil science and resource management careers include research and development, farming and agriculture, and government and non-government organizations.
- We offer advanced coursework in soil physics, soil chemistry, soil biology, soil fertility, and soil management. Students will also learn soil and plant analysis, soil sampling, and soil conservation techniques. This program typically requires students to complete a research project or thesis, which gives them the opportunity to contribute original research to soil science.
