Graduate Programs in Agricultural and Food Sciences contains an up-to-date directory of colleges and universities that offer graduate work in the agricultural sciences, agronomy and soil sciences, animal sciences, aquaculture, food science and technology, horticulture, plant sciences, and viticulture and enology. The institutions listed include those in the United States, U.S. territories, and Canada, as well as those institutions outside the United States that are accredited by U.S. accrediting bodies.

These Agriculture and Food Sciences Program profiles offer the following information: degree offerings, professional accreditation, jointly offered degrees, part-time and evening/weekend programs, postbaccalaureate distance degrees, faculty, students, degree requirements, entrance requirements, expenses, financial support, faculty research, and unit head and application contact information. As an added bonus, readers will find a helpful “See Close-Up” link to in-depth program descriptions written by some of these institutions. These Close-Ups offer detailed information about the agriculture and food sciences program, the faculty members and their research, and links to the program Web site. In addition, there are valuable articles on financial assistance and support at the graduate level and the graduate admissions process, with special advice for international and minority students. Another article discusses important facts about accreditation and provides a current list of accrediting agencies.
