The uniqueness of the undergraduate programmes is that they offer students 4-6 months hands-on practical internship (experiential learning) to help them apply classroom knowledge on the field. The Department has leading-edge postgraduate programmes (MPhil and PhD) in Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Extension, and NGO Studies and Community Development. Students can also pursue a course-based MSc. Programme in NGO Studies and Management. We are a teaching and research oriented Department with over 30 years history of experiential learning methodology.
