Graduate students in our program are required to travel around the world, with the majority of travel tied directly to the extension of improved sensor based nutrient management strategies. To date, 82 of our students have traveled and worked abroad on a short term (2 week) and long term (1 semester) basis. Countries where they have worked include Mexico, Argentina, Zimbabwe, China, India, Uzbekistan, Australia, Canada, and the Philippines. We welcome you to apply to our graduate program which has averaged 10 students per year, working as team members within one of the most productive and dynamic precision agriculture projects in the world.
