Online Business Sustainability Degree :: Accredited Universities

A Bachelor of AgriScience (Agriculture) degree provides the knowledge base and the analytical and management skills to improve the productivity and sustainability of agricultural systems. The major welds an understanding of agribusiness to modern farming practices within the wider context of the economy and society. It provides a sound foundation in agriculture but is sufficiently flexible to allow students to specialise in subjects of particular interest to them.

The agriculture industry is diverse. It includes farming enterprises such as dairy, meat, and wool production; forage production; farm tourism; genetic improvement of plants and animals; and seed production. It also includes biosecurity, as well as service, consultative, and food processing industries.

The Agriculture major will introduce you to a wide range of agricultural enterprises and enable you to gain specialist skills and knowledge in areas of greatest interest to you. You are also able to enter Honours, Postgraduate Diploma, or Masters programmes to further your learning after completing the major. The Agriculture major is structured to ensure that you develop professional skills in written and spoken presentation, computing, and working with professional colleagues and clients.

BAgriScience students will develop a broad overview of the issues confronting New Zealand farmers and agribusiness. Introductory papers in pastures, animals, soils and climate, economics, and business provide the basis for more advanced study later in the programme. In the final year, there is scope for students to focus on specific subjects; however, the aim of the programme is to produce well-rounded agriculture graduates.

Entry Requirements

There are no special requirements beyond those that qualify you to study at University. However, it is preferable that you have credit for NCEA Level 3 Biology or Science, Chemistry, Modelling and Statistics, plus English and Maths. These subjects will help ensure that your transition to University study is as smooth as possible.

Today’s civil engineers are actively creating the world of tomorrow with forward-thinking designs and innovative solutions. Projects leverage sophisticated technologies and new materials to construct the infrastructure of modern life. Builds are planned with cost-efficiency and sustainability in mind, and civil engineering opportunities continue to grow around the world.

Established countries are updating their aging infrastructures; developing nations are beginning to build transit and water systems; and fast-emerging cities are constructing awe-inspiring edifices with extreme features. The future can lead just about anywhere … to a rooftop irrigation system in Dubai, a new highway in Africa, or your local public works office around the corner.

our path to tomorrow begins here at New Jersey Institute of Technology, where we have provided excellence in engineering education for over 130 years. While our focus on math, science, and technology remains consistent and strong, our curriculum continually advances and evolves to meet the changing needs of our students.

This includes the development of a transformative online program designed for civil engineers who want to gain the expertise to become leaders within this increasingly complex industry. Advantages of earning your Master of Science in Civil Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology include:

Attending a respected, top-tier technology school.

Studying online, on your schedule, from wherever you may be.

- Participating in an innovative and engaging civil engineering program.
