How studying agriculture works in Canada
Agricultural degrees are offered by universities with faculties or colleges of agriculture and by agricultural colleges and polytechnics. Universities offer bachelor's degrees of three to four years and graduate programs; colleges and polytechnics offer two- to three-year diplomas and, in some provinces, applied degree programs with a strong practical focus.
