At Olds College, agriculture is not just a stand alone program offered by a single faculty — it’s part of every school on our campus and it defines our campus environment. Agriculture is how we started; it’s core to who we are today and how we make our mark; and it’s our future because it’s our single greatest opportunity to shape the world in meaningful ways.

We are proud to be Canada’s Smart Agriculture College, hosting our 3,600-acre Olds College Smart Farm – a living lab for students. It is through applied research that Olds College finds answers to some of the biggest issues our world faces today, and through experience-based learning that we build the workforce to prepare for tomorrow.
