Introduction
In partnership with Algonquin College – and offered with the option of a paid co-op work term – Northern’s two-year Business Agriculture diploma is your gateway to a rewarding future in the complex industry that literally feeds our world.
With a hands-on approach to the land – and by leveraging the latest technology and management techniques – you’ll examine agricultural challenges through a business lens in order to increase yields, optimize resources, and motivate the team.
You’ll hone your skills through simulations and case studies. And – along the way – you’ll develop strategic and sustainable approaches to crop and herd selection, pest and soil management, farm safety, equipment maintenance, and more.
The result is you’ll graduate prepared to join a farming operation or industry-related business – or become the boss of your very own business.
Agriculture is an increasingly complex industry, with sophisticated agribusiness managers required to make decisions about crop/herd selection and improvement, pest and soil management, equipment maintenance, farm safety and agricultural production. At the same time, there is a growing need for skills and knowledge to apply management concepts related to agricultural financial administration, human resources, operational efficiency, government regulations, technology, sales and marketing.
