Program details
Overview
This undergraduate program, offered as a Major within Bishop's University's Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree, examines the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of food and agricultural systems. Housed in the Department of Environment, Agriculture and Geography within the Faculty of Social Sciences, the program combines academic coursework with hands-on learning, including access to Bishop's 140-acre educational farm, where faculty conduct externally funded agricultural research. Majors complete two 6-credit internships, one based on the campus farm and one with a farm-related business, integrating practical experience into the degree. The program can be completed in three or four years, with intake in both the Fall and Winter terms. It prepares graduates for careers spanning agricultural science, food policy, and sustainability coordination, and provides a foundation for further graduate study in fields such as agroecology, food systems, or environmental sociology.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Bishop's Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems (B.A.) program page publishes no admission requirements of its own and points to the university's general admission requirements page, summarised here. Canadian high-school applicants need five Grade 12 university-preparatory courses including Grade 12 English, with Bishop's citing an estimated minimum admission average of 80% for all programs, though files are reviewed holistically rather than by strict cutoff.

International high-school applicants normally need 12 years of schooling and a credential granting university access at home, with the minimum average assessed individually. English proficiency is required of every applicant, met by a Quebec DEC, three years of secondary schooling or 30 post-secondary credits in English or French, or a test: IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0); TOEFL iBT 90/20 for tests before January 21, 2026, or 4.5/4.0 on the redesigned scale from that date; Cambridge B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176; PTE Academic 65/60; Duolingo English Test 115/90; or LanguageCert Academic 70-74/65.
