WELCOME TO THE FACULTY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES

You are welcome to the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the British American University, Florida.  We are proud to tell you that your interests and aspirations whether academic or otherwise will be met here in the Faculty. Generally, you will notice that the changing nature of Agribusiness and the evolving role of the farm managers and administrators in a global, information/communication technology driven economy is fostering a fundamental transformation in Agricultural Sciences education and technology. Building on many years of training and excellence in Agricultural Sciences of the Faculty members, the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the British American University (BAU) offers various courses on various disciplines in Agriculture that provide students with a sound general Agricultural education supplemented by the technological skills required in today’s Foods and Agro-Allied Industries. The concept of general Agricultural Sciences no longer applies only to large established Agro-Allied organizations. It now embraces dynamic farm enterprises of all sizes and types, from multinational farms to Agribusiness startups. 

Our students learn to address the real problems of practicing farm management and gain insight into the activities, behaviors and strategies of farming, cultivation, plantation, people, organizations, markets and industries. Our teaching methods are fused with analysis and actions so that classes are simultaneously demanding, fun, intense and always dynamic. Our goal is to create an Agricultural empire and environment where students learn how to tackle difficult and complex problems as far as science and practice of Agriculture is concerned. Students learn what they feel like to exercise judgment, make tangible decisions and take responsibilities in various aspects of Agricultural related disciplines.

We are a multicultural Faculty, representing many countries and speaking many languages. During their studies here, students work with Faculty members who are nationally and internationally recognized for their research, academic and publications as well as their excellence in teaching Agricultural courses. Our students, diploma and degree graduates are among the brightest, most principled and accomplished young people of our time. We are proud to graduate people who are committed to high standards and have the capacity to work hard and be dynamic and versatile leading Agriculturists not only of today but also of tomorrow.
