The Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, usually abbreviated as either B.Sc.(Agr.) or B.S.A. or B.Sc.(Ag.) or B.Sc. (Hons.) Ag. is the first undergraduate degree awarded by university faculty of agricultureand agricultural colleges. The program is 4 years of study above Grade 12 High School graduation.
The B.Sc.(Agr.) degree differs from a B.Sc. degree in that the courses focus on agriculture : for example, the student will study agricultural economics rather than economics. Like engineering or forestry, agricultural science courses are infused with practicality.
The B.Sc.(Agr.) degree is normally not a general degree but requires specialization.
Any government job that specifies graduation as the required qualification like civil services, defence services, banks etc., the Ag BSc graduates can equally apply like any other graduates. Therefore, BSc Agriculture offers a wide scope particularly in India where half the workforce is living on agriculture.
