Program details
Overview
This program is a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Agriculture, delivered through the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences and described on the page as the only program of its kind in Alberta. It is a four-year, interactive degree covering the biology of plants and animals, the societal role of biotechnology, and environmentally sustainable approaches to land used for producing food, clothing, and fuel. The program draws on an extensive network of plant and animal research facilities. Graduates can pursue accreditation as a Professional Agrologist (P.Ag.) after completing the degree, and students have the option to move into a more focused Animal Science major or toward veterinary studies as they progress. It suits students interested in a broad agricultural science foundation who want to explore both plant and animal systems before narrowing into a specific major, and who are considering careers across agricultural industries, land management, or further professional accreditation as an agrologist. It functions as an entry point into more specialized agricultural majors offered within the same Faculty.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Alberta high school requires English Language Arts 30-1, Biology 30, Chemistry 30 and Mathematics 30-1, plus one further approved Grade 12 subject, per the University of Alberta's own program requirements for this Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (confirmed against Alberta's alis occupational-program database, which mirrors the university calendar). Admission to the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences (ALES) is competitive: the university requires a minimum admission average of 70% across the five required Grade 12 subjects (a Grade 11 mark of 60% or higher may substitute where the Grade 12 course is not yet complete), and its published three-year admission-average trend for ALES sits in the low 70s to low 80s. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee an offer, and places may be limited each year. Applicants without an Alberta curriculum must demonstrate English proficiency; the university's accepted tests include IELTS Academic with a minimum overall band of 6.5.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to the University of Alberta, not through a provincial service: for Fall 2027 entry the application window opens 1 October 2026 and the deadline for most programmes is 1 March 2027, though several limited-enrolment programmes close earlier (Juris Doctor, 1 December 2026; Dental Hygiene, 1 November 2026) or later (Bachelor of Design and BFA programmes, 1 May 2027); Spring and Summer 2027 admission also opens 1 October 2026, while Winter intake is limited to a few programmes. International applicants use the identical published dates and online application; the university states no separate international closing date. The 1 March deadline is firm and late applications are not accepted, but admission decisions are then issued on a rolling basis, and offers made before 1 April must be accepted by 1 May 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
