Graduates of the program are eligible for membership in Agrologists in Canada, a professional designation for the agriculture sector.

Requirements
Minimum GPA:75.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The Agricultural Business (BSc Agr) page sets a minimum overall average of 75% and requires Academic English 12 and Pre-calculus Math 12 (a conditional-admission pathway exists for applicants who complete equivalent upgrading before enrolling), plus three further academic Grade 12 subjects. The page states admission is competitive and that meeting the 75% minimum does not guarantee a seat. No programme-specific language-test score, SAT/ACT requirement, or TOEFL/IELTS score is mentioned; international applicants are subject to Dalhousie's institution-wide English proficiency requirement, for example IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 overall with no section below 20, unless exempt. No portfolio or interview is stated. Entry is offered in September and January.
