Nova Scotia Agricultural College, TRURO, NS, opened in 1905 to provide agricultural education and training for the Atlantic provinces. It amalgamated the School of Agriculture (founded in Truro, 1885) with the School of Horticulture (founded in Wolfville, 1893). The college offers technical and vocational courses, studies in agricultural engineering and veterinary medicine, and an agricultural science degree and a graduate program in agriculture. The college approaches agricultural studies from various directions, including an active research program, and emphasizes direct involvement with the organized industry. Graduates have occupied prominent positions in agricultural services both in Canada and abroad. There are about 900 full-time and 90 part-time undergraduates enrolled.
