Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Agriculture is a full-time undergraduate program delivered at Dalhousie's Truro and Bible Hill campus, with intakes in September and January. The curriculum covers plant and animal science, soils, food production, and sustainable farming practices, combined with coursework in business management and agricultural technology. Students typically select a major during their first year, and the program supports double majors for those wanting to combine two areas of interest. An optional credit-based internship course and honours project options are available for students seeking applied work experience or independent research within the degree. Instruction combines science coursework with hands-on, real-world learning opportunities related to food production and sustainable agriculture. The program suits students interested in the science underlying food systems, environmental stewardship, and agricultural innovation who want flexibility to specialize or combine majors. Graduates pursue paths including agribusiness management, horticulture management, soil conservation, and laboratory management, and some continue into graduate study in agriculture or agricultural sciences.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:75.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The Agriculture (BSc) 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 without this course who complete equivalent upgrading), plus three further academic Grade 12 subjects. The page states admission is competitive and that meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee a seat. No language-proficiency test 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.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Dalhousie's live Dates and Deadlines page still shows the September 2026 entry cycle as of mid-September 2026, not the 2027 cycle. For that cycle, Bachelor of Science (Nursing), Bachelor of Health Sciences, Bachelor of Science (Medical Sciences) and Bachelor of Social Work close February 15, 2026; the Bachelor of Environmental Design Studies (Architecture) closes March 1, 2026; and the Health Sciences post-diploma option closes June 15, 2026. All other undergraduate programmes are considered on a rolling, space-available basis for both domestic and international applicants, with no separate international closing date published; May 15, 2026 is only the deposit and English-proficiency deadline, not an application deadline. Dalhousie has not yet published September 2027 entry dates. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
