Overview

The International Agriculture and Development (INTAD) program at Pennsylvania State University enables qualified students from the College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS) and other select programs at Penn State to combine their major degree with an internationally focused program of study to gain global competency skills and techniques for application of their discipline in a global environment.

This dual-title program enables students to learn about international agriculture while maintaining a close association with their primary area of interest in their home department.
