Pre-Professional - Agriculture
One of the advantages of studying at CMU is having an opportunity to take courses that could prepare you for degree programs of professional faculties or schools at various universities. This way you can study Bible and theology and be part of a vibrant Christian community—while looking ahead to future studies in areas like law, education, medicine and others.

Preparing for a Career in Agriculture

Download an information sheet

A year of study at Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) could prepare you to meet the entrance requirements for a baccalaureate program in agriculture. This page explains what you must complete if you wish to continue studies at the University of Manitoba to earn the Bachelor of Science (in Agriculture, Agribusiness, Agroecology, or Food Science). If you intend to continue studies at some other university, similar possibilities exist. However, it is important that you inquire about admission and program requirements at the university you are considering and that you work with the Coordinator of Student Advising at CMU to construct a program of studies at CMU that will achieve your objectives.

If you intend to earn the Bachelor of Science (in Agriculture, Agribusiness, Agro ecology, or Food Science), you can begin with a year of studies at CMU and complete the degree program at the University of Manitoba without adding to the time it would take if you were to go directly to the University of Manitoba.

It will be necessary to commute to the University of Manitoba for some courses during the time of pre-professional study at CMU. Courses not currently available at CMU are highlighted in UPPERCASE LETTERS.

To become eligible for admission to the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences at the University of Manitoba, you must complete a minimum of 24 credit hours with a GPA of at least 2.0. The following charts provide sample registrations for a qualifying year. There are other possible ways of registering. CMU’s Coordinator of Student Advising will be available to advise you when you register.
