The School
of Agriculture coordinates the Diploma in Agriculture program
and offers a variety of certificate, non-credit, and professional
development programs for the agri-food industry on behalf
of the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences.
History
of the Diploma in Agriculture Program
The
Agriculture Diploma program has a long and rich tradition,
going back to 1906, as the first program offered by the Manitoba
Agricultural College. Since its beginning 101 years ago, the
program has changed dramatically, shifting its emphasis from
technical training toward a broader education in the scientific
principles that underlie modern farm production and agribusiness
management practices. The Diploma in Agriculture program remains
a program that is well-designed for people who will manage
a farm, and provides a sound education for those that will
provide business and financial services directly to the agricultural
industry.
