20 programs in Agriculture & Environmental Sciences.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Agribusiness Management
Agribusiness Management teaches you how to run agricultural businesses -- from managing farm production to marketing and selling agricultural products profitably. It combines agricultural knowledge with business skills, aimed at making farming and food businesses more efficient and profitable.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Agricultural Administration
Agricultural Administration trains you to manage the business and operational side of farms, agribusinesses, and agricultural organizations. You'll study farm management, agricultural policy, budgeting, human resources, and supply chain logistics alongside core agricultural science, so you understand both the crops or livestock and the business decisions around them. Coursework typically covers topics like agricultural finance, procurement, and organizational leadership within farming operations or agribusiness companies. The goal is to prepare people who can run agricultural enterprises efficiently, not just understand the science behind them.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Agricultural Biotechnology
Agricultural Biotechnology teaches you how to use genetic science to make crops and livestock better -- more resistant to disease, more productive, and better suited to Ghana's climate. It combines biology, genetics, and agriculture into one field aimed squarely at improving farming through science.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Agricultural Economics
Agricultural Economics applies economic theory and quantitative tools to the food and farming sector -- everything from how farmers decide what to plant, to how food prices move, to how governments design agricultural policy. You'll study microeconomics, statistics, and econometrics alongside topics like farm management, commodity markets, and agricultural trade. Expect a fair amount of maths and data analysis, since the degree trains you to model and forecast outcomes in farming, food supply chains, and rural development. Many programmes also cover natural resource and environmental economics, since land, water, and climate directly shape agricultural output.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Agricultural Extension
Agricultural Extension trains people to bridge the gap between agricultural research and the farmers who actually need it -- translating new techniques, technologies, and best practices into advice farmers can use. You'll study agricultural science alongside communication, adult education, and community development, learning how to design training programmes, run demonstrations, and work directly with farming communities. Fieldwork is central to this degree; you'll spend real time in farming communities, understanding their challenges and figuring out how to communicate solutions in ways that actually get adopted. It's as much about people and communication as it is about agricultural knowledge itself.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Animal Science
Animal Science teaches you how to breed, feed, and manage livestock -- cattle, poultry, goats, and more -- for healthy, productive farming. You'll learn the biology behind animal growth and reproduction alongside practical livestock management skills.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Applied Agricultural Economics and Policy
Applied Agricultural Economics and Policy is a graduate programme focused on using economic tools to analyze and shape real agricultural policy decisions -- things like subsidies, trade agreements, land use rules, and food security programmes. You'll build on core agricultural economics with a stronger emphasis on policy analysis, quantitative modeling, and evaluating the real-world impact of government and international agricultural interventions. Expect coursework in econometrics, policy evaluation methods, and applied research projects that look at actual agricultural policies and their outcomes. It's designed for people who want to work at the intersection of research and decision-making, not just farm-level economics.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Aquaculture and Water Resources Management
Aquaculture and Water Resources Management trains you to produce fish and other aquatic organisms sustainably while managing freshwater and coastal resources. You will learn hatchery operations, water quality testing, pond and cage system design, aquatic animal health, and the business side of running a fish farm.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Crop Science
Crop Science teaches you how plants grow, how to improve crop yields, and how to protect crops from pests and diseases. You'll study everything from soil and plant biology to modern crop breeding techniques, aimed at making farming more productive and sustainable.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Environmental Science
Environmental Science teaches you how human activity affects the natural world -- pollution, climate change, waste management -- and how to find practical solutions. You'll study the science behind environmental problems alongside the policy and management tools used to address them.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Fisheries and Aquaculture
Fisheries and Aquaculture teaches you how to farm fish and manage water bodies sustainably -- from fish breeding and pond management to protecting Ghana's natural fisheries. It's increasingly important as demand for fish grows and natural fish stocks face pressure.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Food Manufacturing Technology
Food Manufacturing Technology (also called Food Technology) teaches you how food is processed, preserved, and made safe for people to eat at scale -- from local grains and cereals to packaged products. You'll learn the science of food alongside the practical side of running a food processing operation.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Forestry
Forestry teaches you how to manage forests sustainably -- balancing timber production, conservation, and the needs of communities that depend on forest resources. You'll learn about tree biology, forest ecosystems, and how to plan responsible forest use that lasts for generations.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
General Agriculture
General Agriculture teaches you the full picture of farming -- crops, animals, soil, and the business side of running a farm. Instead of specializing in just one area right away, you get a broad foundation across the whole agricultural value chain before choosing where to focus.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Horticulture
Horticulture teaches you how to grow fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants -- combining plant science with practical growing and landscaping skills. It's a hands-on field covering everything from vegetable production to designing attractive gardens and green spaces.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Landscape Design and Management
Landscape Design and Management teaches you how to plan and create outdoor spaces -- parks, gardens, residential compounds, and commercial grounds -- that are both functional and beautiful. You'll combine plant science, design principles, and environmental planning to shape how people experience outdoor spaces.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Natural Resources Management
Natural Resources Management teaches you how to sustainably manage Earth's valuable resources -- forests, water, wildlife -- balancing human needs with long-term environmental protection. It's a broad, practical field aimed at ensuring these resources remain available for future generations.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Post-Harvest Technology
Post-Harvest Technology teaches you how to reduce the huge losses that happen after crops are harvested but before they reach consumers -- through better storage, processing, and handling. It's a genuinely high-impact field, since a significant share of Ghana's farm produce is lost after harvest due to poor storage and handling.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Soil Science
Soil Science teaches you how soil works -- its structure, fertility, and how to manage it for productive, sustainable farming. Since soil health determines how well crops grow, this behind-the-scenes science is genuinely central to Ghana's agricultural success and food security.
Agriculture & Environmental Sciences
Veterinary Laboratory Science
Veterinary Laboratory Science focuses on the diagnostic testing and analysis required to maintain animal health and manage zoonotic diseases. Students learn to perform complex laboratory tests on animal blood, tissue, and fluids to help veterinarians diagnose and treat diseases.
