Program overview
A two year diploma joining agronomy to agricultural technology, covering soil and crop science, GPS guided equipment, variable rate application, drones and remote sensing, data collection and the analysis that turns field data into decisions.
Techgronomy is the flagship of the technology school here and the reason this college is watched internationally. The campus Smart Farm is a working research farm running commercial scale precision equipment, so students learn on the systems the industry is actually deploying rather than on demonstration kit. An optional four month internship extends that exposure.
The CIP code recorded for Precision Agriculture, Techgronomy is 01.1102, which appears on the agriculture and agri-food eligible field of study list, so the programme meets the field of study requirement. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Precision Agriculture, Techgronomy with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Precision Agriculture, Techgronomy in writing before you pay a deposit.
