AgroParisTech to launch an agricultural bachelor's degree program in fall 2026
April 13 2026AgroParisTech is accredited to deliver the bachelor’s degree in agriculture titled “Entrepreneurship, Support, and Management in Agriculture,” in joint accreditation with Campus Terre & Avenir. This new national three-year degree, established by the Agricultural Framework Act of March 24, 2025, will begin accepting students starting in September 2026. The program will be held at the Campus Terre & Avenir in Sées.
A new degree grounded in the realities of agriculture
Established by the Framework Law on Food Sovereignty and Generational Renewal in Agriculture, the bachelor’s degree in agriculture is a flagship program of the Ministry of Agriculture, Agri-Food, and Food Sovereignty. As a national undergraduate degree in agricultural science and technology, it is recognized by the state and confers the rank of a bachelor’s degree (bac+3). It aims to train a new generation of professionals capable of addressing the current challenges facing the agricultural and agri-food sectors, within a context of economic, environmental, and social transitions.
AgroParisTech and Campus Terre & Avenir: a first-of-its-kind joint accreditation
For this first agricultural bachelor’s degree program, AgroParisTech is partnering with Campus Terre & Avenir, an agricultural education institution recognized for its strong ties to the local community and the professional sector. This joint accreditation combines the complementary expertise of higher education in agronomy and technical agricultural education to deliver a high-quality program that is fully integrated into the agricultural sector’s networks.
Vocational training for in-demand occupations
The specialization in “Entrepreneurship, Consulting, and Management in Agriculture” prepares students for roles in management, consulting, and support for agricultural operations. Open to students who have completed two years of post-secondary education (BTSA, BTS, BUT2, or L2), this highly vocational program aims for direct entry into the workforce, while also offering opportunities for further study. The program is offered as an initial training program, an apprenticeship, or continuing education.
Lessons at the core of agricultural transitions
The program has been designed in close collaboration with stakeholders in the agricultural and agri-food sectors. The curriculum incorporates the challenges of agricultural and food transitions, on-the-ground realities, and the ongoing changes within the industry. This approach equips graduates with a vision that is both operational and strategic—essential for supporting today’s farms and agricultural organizations. This initiative is part of the AgriTransitions 2030 project and is supported by France 2030. Additional agricultural bachelor’s programs are currently being developed in collaboration with various agricultural high schools, covering other specializations within the agricultural bachelor’s degree.
