AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING DEGREES

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES

Very few undergraduates choose to major in agricultural engineering. Each major awards roughly 6,156 yearly undergrad degrees; 1,205 students last spring were granted an undergrad degree in agricultural engineering, making it the USA's 197th most popular area of study for college students. Ohio State University-Main Campus​ awarded 160 of those degrees (#1 in the country). Institutions in Ohio granted more degrees than any U.S. State (160).

Undergraduate degrees in agricultural engineering are available at 37 schools around the nation; consequently, selecting the right fit is frequently challenging. Undergraduate degrees in agricultural engineering are 80.7% less broadly available than the average major, making it the 312th most broadly offered American major.

GRADUATE DEGREES

While 78% of last May's degrees in agricultural engineering were undergraduate degrees; 22% were advanced degrees. Agricultural engineering is the 212th most popular advanced degree in the nation, with 333 degrees awarded. To put that in context, the average subject is 8.3 times more popular among postgraduate students than agricultural engineering.

In Total, 1,538 students received a bachelor's or higher in agricultural engineering last May.
