Degree Programs
The College of Agriculture and Bioresources offers three separate Bachelor of Science degrees.
The Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness degree program is made up of a combination of science, economics, agricultural economics and business courses. Graduates will understand the structure and organization of the agri-food sector and will possess business skills with particular application to the value chain extending from farm inputs through on-farm businesses, to processing, transportation, credit and marketing. The B.Sc.(Agbus.) degree is comprised of a greater number of agriculture and science requirements than is typically found in a business program, but with a greater range of electives than found in the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture program.
The Bachelor of Science in Renewable Resource Management is an applied science degree that prepares students for careers in renewable resource management. The B.Sc.(RRM) degree focuses on management of land, biotic, and water resources and provides sufficient technical skills to ensure that graduates are highly employable in the resource sector. As well, students are provided with the broader intellectual context that is the hallmark of superior university-level education.
The Bachelor of Science in Agriculture provides students with a sound basis in the natural and social sciences and a broad knowledge of agriculture, agri-food systems, and the role of agriculture in both the Great Plains and global contexts. Graduates will be prepared to address major agricultural issues and challenges, including: resource use consistent with sustainable production of food, feed, fibre and fuel; production, processing and marketing of high quality food and non-food products, research, development and implementation of innovative and efficient production, processing and marketing systems. There is a wide range of specializations to choose from in the B.S.A. degree.
