Program details
Overview
This bachelor's program (B.Sc.A.) in agronomy develops competencies for sustainable agricultural production and environmental protection, combining scientific training with practical field experience. Students choose a specialization in soil-environment systems science, plant science, or animal science, and the four-year, 120-credit curriculum places strong emphasis on sustainable resource management, professional communication, and ethical practice in agriculture. Two mandatory paid internships of at least 12 weeks each are required: one in agricultural production and a second in professional agronomic practice. Students may also complete an optional international and intercultural internship of at least two months in a developing country. Some courses are offered at a distance. The program suits students who are passionate about nature, science, animals, and environmental protection and who want to apply scientific knowledge to agricultural problems; it is described as suiting versatile, autonomous people who communicate and work well in teams. Career paths include agricultural advisory services, farm management, and research and development, as well as roles with governmental and non-governmental organizations across animal production, plant science, soil conservation, and water management.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Quebec applicants qualify directly with a DEC in Natural Sciences, Sciences Letters and Arts, or the International Baccalaureate in Pure and Applied Sciences; other DEC holders must complete biology, chemistry (one or two courses), a mathematics course and a quantitative-methods or statistics course, with compensatory Université Laval courses available over up to three sessions including summer. Applicants from outside Quebec need a secondary diploma plus one year of university study, or 13 years of pre-university education (or 12 years plus one year of higher education internationally), with a background judged satisfactory in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology; those with only a secondary diploma follow the preparatory science pathway. Non-francophone applicants must pass the Test de français (TCF tout public); French-as-a-second-language coursework is available through the Cheminement en immersion française. Selection is based on the quality of the academic record.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic (Quebec and other-Canadian) applicants to Universite Laval apply per trimester: for Automne (Fall) 2027 entry, online applications open August 15, 2026, non-quota bachelor's applications are due March 1, 2027 (late until August 15, 2027) and non-quota graduate applications are due February 1, 2027; Hiver (Winter) 2027 applications are due November 1, 2026 (late until December 1, 2026). Quota programs -- MD, first-cycle PharmD, and bachelor's degrees in occupational therapy, physiotherapy, sexology and biomedical sciences -- close November 1, 2026 for Automne 2027, for all applicants. International applicants face firmer, earlier cutoffs (February 1, 2027 for Automne; July 1, 2026 for Hiver 2027; December 1, 2026 for Ete 2027) given 4-to-6-month immigration processing; a late international application is deferred to a later term rather than accepted for the term requested. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
