Representatives from South Dakota State University and the University of Debrecen came together in Hungary to sign an academic cooperation agreement, making official a partnership that will connect the precision agriculture programs of both universities.

Students enrolled in the precision agriculture bachelor’s degree program at the University of Debrecen will have the opportunity to dually enroll in the SDSU College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences’ precision agriculture program for their fourth and fifth semesters.

Located within the department of agricultural and biosystems engineering, the first two years of the SDSU precision agriculture program and the Debrecen programs both require coursework in statistics, biology and a variety of introductory courses centered on different aspects of agricultural production.
