पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program is designed for students who want a broad education in agriculture to prepare for careers that require knowledge of food systems and natural resources, such as production and marketing of foods and ornamental plants; and careers in agricultural education in secondary schools, cooperative extension, and crop consulting. Students in the program develop a curriculum that best fits their individual needs. Cornell is one of the world leaders in international agriculture and rural development. As an agricultural science major, participation in at least one class focusing on international agriculture is required. Students will have boundless opportunities to earn credit for their participation in structured study tours to places like Mexico, India and the Philippines to learn about agriculture outside of the U.S. Many students also arrange for their required internship to be based internationally at a farm or organization. This program allows students to focus on farm level business management through the proprietorships/partnerships focus, or in farm policy and law through the Corporate Business focus. Improved farm management may range from decreasing the environmental impacts of dairy production to increasing production through better farm management practices. Students can take courses in economics to better understand economic efficiency, while gaining a solid background in a range of agricultural practices. Important current topics in agricultural economics and management include bio-fuels and new agri-product development and marketing.
