100 Best Agricultural Science schools in the United States

Ranking by academic field

Below is the list of best universities in the United States ranked based on their research performance in Agricultural Science. A graph of 3.61M citations received by 97.4K academic papers made by 195 universities in the United States was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
