Academic Accelerator - Bachelor of Science - Agricultural Science

The Academic Accelerator Program is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, but who also want the benefit of English-language and student support that will help them thrive. The program curriculum offers a balance of university-wide and Academic Accelerator Program exclusive courses, with English-language course supplements that equip students with the practical, subject-specific vocabulary and skills that they need to excel in their coursework. Upon completion of the program, students progress into year two of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits.

The major in agricultural science offers a broad base of knowledge and expertise across a variety of agricultural disciplines. The cross-disciplinary program was developed in response to a growing and more diverse agricultural industry as well as the increased need among related industries for a more broadly skilled workforce. The agricultural science major is designed to prepare students for a career within agricultural companies, producer groups or extension agencies. It is also an excellent foundation for a teaching career in Agriscience education or for graduate studies in a variety of agricultural fields. Coursework in the agricultural science major will include studies in crop and soil science, animal sciences, horticulture, agribusiness, fisheries and aquaculture, agricultural technology and more.
