China Agricultural University (CAU) China Agricultural University (CAU), directly subordinated to the Ministry of Education, was selected as the first group member entering both the State 211 & 985 Program in order to be constructed as one of the Key State Universities in China. As the origin and the oldest agricultural higher education institution in China, CAU’s history could be dated back to 1905, when the College of Agriculture was founded in the Jingshi Daxuetang (the present Peking University). The current CAU was merged in 1995 by the former Beijing Agricultural University and the Beijing agricultural Engineering University. With more than 100-year history, CAU has formed a comprehensive university with distinctive feature and dominant position in agricultural sciences, education, research and extension. The strong groups of disciplines at the University are agriculture & life science, natural resources & environmental sciences, agricultural engineering & automation science, informatics & computer science, as well as economics, management and social science. CAU, pays great importance to international cooperation and exchange activities. CAU has foreign students at different levels from more than 40 countries in Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. CAU warmly welcomes more foreigners to spend their life for study, teaching and research in the beautiful CAU campuses. Bachelor's Degree (4 Years): 1. Agronomy 2. Animal Science 3.
