Study Programs 

• Iwate:  For the past 30+ years, students from Iwate Agricultural Junior College of Japan visit UC Davis for a week-long technical field program. This program introduces students to a variety of agricultural operations found in California as well as the activities of the University of California, Davis and the University of California Cooperative Extension

• China Agricultural University: In September 2018, China Ag University sponsored a delegation of 18 undergraduate students and 2 professors to travel to UC Davis and undertake a summer short-term exchange study tour on agricultural green development and sustainable agriculture.  This was repeated in August 2019 with 29 students and 4 professors participating in a summer study tour on agricultural resources conservation and environment protection.  In both summer programs, students interacted with campus faculty and technical experts.
