The Purdue University College of Agriculture offers an International Studies in Agriculture minor to all Purdue undergraduate students who wish to develop international competencies beyond the minimum “international understanding” course requirements. The International Studies of Agriculture minor is an academic minor administered by the Purdue College of Agriculture Office of Academic Programs (OAP), in partnership with International Programs in Agriculture (IPIA).

Goals for the minor include:

  1. Increase the student’s understanding of international agriculture (including, but not limited to food, water, energy, economics, environment, natural resources, health, plants, animals, forestry, and wildlife);
  2. Prepare students for international facets of their careers and lives through experiences on and off campus;
  3. Integrate the development of cultural awareness into all on-campus, co-curricular, and study abroad student experiences; and
  4. Increase the relevance and attraction of students seeking this minor.

This minor directly addresses the College of Agriculture Strategic Plan (2021-2026)

We are ‘global’ in our identity.
