Course Overview
The University of Guelph, Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics program also strives to develop appropriate analytical, methodological, and communication skills to enable students to analyze agriculture and resource problems effectively and explain their findings. All MSc students in the Department are required to select an Advisory Committee, by the end of their second semester at the very latest. Until this time they are advised by the Departmental Graduate Program Committee. The Advisory Committee must consist of at least two graduate faculty members. The committee comprises of an Advisor plus one other member of the Department, or another member of graduate faculty (who may be from another department when appropriate). The Advisory Committee is responsible for reviewing the progress of the student as well as the student's prescribed schedule of studies. The Advisory Committee should be consulted prior to registration each semester. The day-to-day responsibility of the students progress rests with the Advisor. A list of prescribed courses for each student is agreed with the Advisory Committee.
