This university transferable diploma program enables students to combine their passion for agriculture with the business world. We prepare students with business, relational & agricultural skills to become innovative contributors and leaders in the agricultural industry. Students can choose from four streams preparing them for careers in agriculture. Students take courses equipping them with the knowledge needed to ensure success in today’s agribusiness world including business, financial and risk management, commodity & social marketing as well as production and sustainability practices. Experiential learning is a focus with highlights such as: an opportunity to have a practicum experience, host Band in the Sand as part of the marketing stream, compete in a case competition, manage a simulated mixed farm operation, develop the Aggies brand, collaborate with industry while developing a business plan and extend your knowledge and voice in representing the ag industry as an agvocate. Graduates are qualified to work in entry-level management positions for financial, marketing and ag retail including chemical, grain, feed, and equipment cooperatives. Our students are in demand with opportunities for employment expanding in both urban and rural areas across Western Canada.
