The GPSA was the first and remains the only graduate program in the US to offer both the MS
and PhD degrees in sustainable agriculture. While competing pro-grams have arisen in agroecology and
organic agriculture, the GPSA remains the only grad program that allows students to
pursue a true interdisciplinary curriculum that includes the biological, social, and economic elements of
sustainability.
The OEC selected the GPSA as one of the top eight programs in
the US. Of the eight leading institutions named, only Ohio State, UC-Davis, and
UW-Madison offer graduate programs
comparable to the GPSA (in agroecology or environmental science), but Iowa State alone maintains its primary
focus on sustainable agriculture as a distinct and separate discipline.
