Program details
Overview
This three-year, 80-week diploma prepares graduates for careers across the agriculture sector, covering sustainable food production, land and resource management, farm machinery and technology, agricultural business management, and current commodity and market trends. Students combine classroom and laboratory instruction with three paid cooperative education work terms, gaining hands-on exposure to industry practice alongside academic coursework. The program emphasizes both traditional agricultural production and the technology used to manage resources and improve efficiency on modern operations. It is delivered on campus at the Moose Jaw campus, with a single intake each September. Graduates are prepared for roles such as farm management, agronomy, agricultural sales and service, and food production operations, as well as opportunities for further study or entrepreneurship within the broader agriculture and agri-food industry.
