2021 Best U.S. Colleges for Agricultural Sciences


There are 140 agricultural colleges in the United States and Niche.com released its newest rankings. To be included in the list, the college must at least give bachelor’s degrees in agriculture or represents at least 20% of all bachelor’s degrees conferred by the university. The ranking compares the top agricultural science degree programs including animal sciences, horticulture, aquaculture, agronomy, crop science, and turf management. 

Niche.com uses data from the United States Department of Education, the National Science Foundation and millions of reviews from college students and alumni across the nation to calculate its annual ranking.  A rigorous analysis of the Department of Education data on academics, admissions, and financial and student life is combined with research expenditures gathered by the National Science Foundation. 

In addition to the ranking schools are also given a letter grade, which is based on faculty accomplishments, salary, student views, and other factors.
