Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) Canada 2011
Introduction

01. - Agriculture, agriculture operations and related sciences

This series comprises instructional programs that focus on agriculture and related sciences and that prepare individuals to apply specific knowledge, methods, and techniques to the management and performance of agricultural operations.

01.11 - Plant sciences

This subseries comprises instructional program classes 01.1101 to 01.1199.

01.1101 - Plant sciences, general

This instructional program class comprises any general program that focuses on the scientific principles that underlie the breeding, cultivation, and production of agricultural plants, and the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural plant products. These programs include courses in the plant sciences, crop cultivation and production, and agricultural and food products processing.
