Agriculture in the Built Environment

The Agriculture in the Built Environment (AgBE) Program is an 8-week summer term program, jointly delivered by the University of Oregon School of Architecture and Environment, and the Oregon State University College of Agricultural Sciences. The first four weeks of the term (June 23–July 20) will be delivered as virtual, synchronous course. The final four weeks of the term (July 20–August 16) will be spent abroad, primarily in Singapore, with a short stay in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 

The AgBE Program will provide students with collaborative, interdisciplinary opportunities to research and design ways of integrating architecture and agriculture in urban contexts. In doing so, they will address pressing issues of food security and equity, urban livability, human and environmental health, and climate change adaptation and mitigation. 

GEO program fees cover tuition, housing and some meals, excursions, books and course materials, local transportation passes, and on-site orientation. Insurance and a 24-hour emergency service are also included. For scholarship funding information, please visit our website's Scholarships page.

Application deadlines and program dates are subject to change and/or be extended, so please see the GEO program website to confirm.
