1.3 Programs and Academic Units
The Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition offer B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs in the areas of study of: Agricultural Sciences, Biological Sciences, Bioresource Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Food Science, and Nutritional Sciences. Also offered are a Diploma in Environment, Certificates in Ecological Agriculture and in Entrepreneurship, and a Graduate Certificate in Biotechnology.
The Faculty is comprised of eight academic units: the School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition; the departments of Agricultural Economics, Animal Science, Bioresource Engineering, Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Natural Resource Sciences, and Plant Science; and the Institute of Parasitology.
The Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences is also one of the three faculties in partnership with the McGill School of Environment.
The School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition offers programs in dietetics and nutrition, the former leading to membership in various professional associations. Professional Practice experiences to complete the dietetics practicum are provided in the McGill teaching hospitals and in a wide variety of health, education, business, government and community agencies.
The Institute of Parasitology offers graduate programs leading to M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees as well as a non-thesis M.Sc.(A) in Biotechnology and a Graduate Certificate in Biotechnology. Major areas of research include the molecular biology, immunology, and population biology of parasites and their hosts and the biochemical pharmacology of antiparasite drugs. The underlying orientation of all research is to apply relevant modern biological techniques to reduce parasite transmission and to improve methods of diagnosis and control. The research background and activities of the staff encompass many disciplines applied to the study of host-parasite interactions of protozoa and helminth parasites of humans, livestock and other animals, as well as cancer biology. The Institute has been designated by the Quebec Government as a Centre for Host-Parasite Interactions.
1.3.1 Internship Opportunities and Co-op Experience
All students in agricultural programs have the opportunity to participate in a summer-long Internship on a farm or related agricultural enterprise. Students who register in the Agricultural Sciences Internship Program benefit from two summers of Internship experience, one on a farm and the other in industry, in research, or with an accredited agrologist.
Most undergraduate programs offered in the Faculty include the opportunity for a Co-op work experience. Internships and Co-op experience both involve a work placement of a minimum 12 weeks' duration where the student is exposed to the main areas of operation of the employer. Each work placement is unique, and the student benefits from a program developed by both the employer and the instructor exclusively for that individual student.
Students who register for a Co-op experience benefit from practical learning arising from work-term employment in a meaningful job situation. Students also benefit from the non-tangible learning experience arising from the increased responsibilities required to obtain and successfully complete the work term.
1.3.2 Exchange Programs
The Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences participates in all university-wide student exchange programs available at McGill and also has faculty-specific exchange programs. For more information, please see "Exchange Programs" .

Couture
8.1 Program - FMT
The Farm Management and Technology (FMT) program is a three (3)-year academic and practical program offered on the Macdonald Campus and taught by the staff of the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of McGill University. The program is funded by the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec and authorized by the Ministère de l'Éducation du Québec.
The educational goals of the program are:
Six academic terms are spent on the Macdonald Campus studying a sequence of courses in soil, plant science, animal science, engineering, economics and management. The first summer of the program is spent on a farm other than the home farm where the student learns the many skills and encounters the many problems related to modern commercial agriculture. Students will prepare for this 13-week practicum through a one-week internship during both academic semesters of Year 1.
During the second summer, students will be encouraged to acquire additional farm experience away from the home farm. This could be a farm enterprise or another field of activities in the agri-food sector. Students could also choose to spend their second summer on their home farm, where they would be responsible for data collection to be used in their Farm Project and the Agro-Environmental Fertilization Plan. The internships and practicums will enable the students to relate their academic work to the reality of farming.
Finally, courses in English, French, Humanities, Physical Education and two complementary courses taken during the program will entitle the student to receive a Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) from the Ministère de l'Éducation du Québec. Students will also receive a certification from Macdonald Campus stating that they have successfully completed the requirements of the Farm Management and Technology Program.
Note:
Admission to this program is only in the Fall semester.
8.2 Entrance Requirements - FMT
1. Students should have a good practical knowledge of farming under eastern Canadian conditions. One year of experience is recommended but under special conditions a four-month summer season is acceptable.2. The minimum academic entrance requirements are a Quebec High School Leaving Certificate (Secondary V), or its equivalent and any other academic requirement set by the M.E.Q.3. All candidates for admission must make arrangements to come to the Macdonald Campus for an interview prior to admission to the program.Although it is not an entrance requirement, incoming students are strongly encouraged to acquire their driver's permit (for cars and for farm equipment) before coming to Macdonald Campus. This is both for safety reasons, given that students begin working with farm equipment very early in the program, and because most farmers require that their employees and stagiaires know how to drive both passenger vehicles and farm equipment and possess an appropriate driver's license.
8.3 Registration - FMT
Students in the Farm Management and Technology Program must register on-line using Minerva at www.mcgill.ca/minerva for each semester at McGill.
Note: In normal circumstances, individual courses will not be offered with less than five registrants.
