Program details
Overview
This program is a major in Crop Science within the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree, offered through the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences. It focuses on plant growth, soils, and the factors affecting plant production, giving students practical skills in plant biotechnology, breeding, and production management techniques used to develop, grow, and market high-quality, high-yield crops. As a major within the wider BSc in Agriculture, it shares the degree's general structure while concentrating coursework on crop and soil science rather than animal systems. Delivery is on-campus. It suits students interested in plant-based agricultural science who want to specialize in crop production, breeding, or soil management rather than the broader plant-and-animal scope of the general Agriculture degree, and who are considering careers connected to crop production, agricultural biotechnology, or plant breeding industries. The major functions as a specialization students can move into from the general BSc in Agriculture program, allowing a more applied, crop-focused course of study within the same underlying credential.

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.
