Program details
Overview
This two-year Diploma in Agriculture covers practical crop production principles and practices, farm machinery, soil fertility, and agricultural economics and marketing, with classes running from mid-September to early April each year. In the second year, students choose one of four specialization tracks: business management, crop management, livestock management, or general agriculture. The diploma requires a minimum of ninety-three credit hours and is delivered on campus at Fort Garry. An optional cooperative education term can be completed over the summer without adding time to the program. Graduates meet the requirements to register as Technical Agrologists with Agrologists Manitoba, and a Diploma-to-Degree Pathway allows up to sixty credit hours to be transferred toward a bachelor's degree within the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences. The program is aimed at students planning to manage farms or pursue careers in the agricultural, food service, or value-added agri-food sectors, offering a shorter, practically oriented alternative to a full degree for those who want to move directly into farm or agribusiness operations.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences (Diploma). Direct Entry (high school or fewer than 24 post-secondary credit hours) or Advanced Entry (24+ credit hours with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher). Direct entry to the diploma requires a minimum 60% average over English 40S, Mathematics 40S or 45S, and one science course (no per-course minimum stated) — a lower bundle than the faculty's degree programs. Meeting minimums does not guarantee acceptance; an Individual Consideration Category exists for alternative pathways.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
