Dual degree programme brings Indian horticultural students to Canada

A recent Memorandum of Understanding between the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) and the Nova Scotia Agricultural College (NSAC) has laid the foundation for a new dual degree programme that will allow Indian students the chance to study environmental horticulture in Canada. According to Brian Crouse, manager of student recruitment and awards at NSAC, students will have to complete five semesters at TNAU and then three semesters at NSAC in order to obtain certificates from both universities.

“Sometimes it’s hard, as an institution with a specialized focus, to find eager international partners,” says Crouse, “but in India, we found that students aspire to study agriculture.” The partners originally planned to launch the programme in the Fall of 2010, however, immediate interest from students has led them to consider beginning early. “It will depend on how fast the student’s visas can be approved,” Crouse explains. If all goes well, three Indian students could be arriving in September. Twenty-three more TNAU students are planning to attend NSAC in 2010 or 2011.

TNAU is currently the top ranked agricultural university in India and is actively seeking to create student exchange programmes with universities in the West. The largest obstacle to developing such programmes is the significant cost that students must incur. These programmes equip Indian students to be global citizens and also provide them with valuable North American work experience, but many students cannot afford to participate. Currently, there are few opportunities in Canada for Indian students to receive financial support for post-secondary studies.
