  Studying in the US: Growing Interest in Agriculture?

  留学在美国:对农业的兴趣增加了?

  This is the VOA Special English Education Report.

  In the United States, the area of study with the fewest international students is agriculture. The number was about nine thousand during the last school year. More than ten times as many studied business or engineering.

  But the crop of foreign students in agriculture and natural resources was twenty percent bigger than the year before. The Institute of International Education in New York says that was the biggest increase of any area of study. So this week in our Foreign Student Series we look at agriculture programs in the United States.

  About one hundred colleges and universities began as public agricultural schools and continue to teach agriculture. These are known as land-grant schools.

  In eighteen sixty-two, Congress passed legislation that gave thousands of hectares to each state. States were to sell the land and use the money to establish colleges to teach agriculture, engineering and military science. A congressman from Vermont, Justin Smith Morrill, wrote the legislation.
