Additional information

Program description
Agriculture is an increasingly complex industry, with sophisticated agribusiness managers required to make decisions about crop/herd selection and improvement, pest and soil management, farm safety, and agricultural production. In Georgian’s Business – Agriculture Diploma program, you explore both the business and science behind the industry. A combination of outdoor learning with time in classrooms and modern labs provides practical agricultural knowledge, as well as the business training necessary to successfully manage or provide services to agricultural businesses. This program connects you to the agribusiness industry and includes a co-operative work placement between first and second year, giving you hands-on experience and networking opportunities with others in the field. You’ll graduate with a competitive edge – with the ability to examine agricultural techniques through a business lens, and the skills to evaluate farm production methodologies, technologies and systems to inform financial and operational decisions.
