This program offers hands-on applications with real-world situations and responsive education. Students will enhance their professional skill-set and knowledge based on current research, regulations, and applications.

These courses are recognized by the Alberta Institute of Agrologists as senior-level agrology courses related to entrance into the profession and to augment core knowledge requirements related to a practice area in AIA.
