Graduate Study. The International Agricultural
Development M.S. degree program prepares students
for careers in global agricultural and rural
development, especially of developing and lessindustrialized
regions. This is an interdisciplinary
program designed to provide students with knowledge
and skills that will enable them to implement,
facilitate, and manage programs that enhance agricultural
development, resource management, and
rural life.
Students are prepared to accomplish biological and
technological improvement in agricultural and natural
systems to facilitate social innovation. Training in
International Agricultural Development includes both
breadth and depth components. Breadth components,
required of all M.S. students, aim to establish
an understanding of the issues in international development
as it relates to agriculture and the environment.
These include the history and philosophy of
development, leadership and management techniques,
fundamentals of crop and livestock farming
systems, and agricultural economics. Students
acquire depth in their own areas of specialization
within the agricultural and social sciences. The areas
are agricultural and resource economics, agricultural
engineering, agronomy, animal science, anthropology,
aquaculture, avian science, community development,
ecology, economics, entomology,
environmental design, environmental toxicology,
food science, gender, geography, horticulture, nutrition,
plant pathology, plant biology, plant protection
and pest management, political science, pomology,
preventive veterinary medicine, range science, sociology,
soil science, sustainable agriculture, vegetable
crops, viticulture, and water science.
Practical and on-site experience with development
issues is encouraged and facilitated by guidance
from the group’s approximately 80 faculty members,
who posses a wide range of experience in international
development.

Faculty
Courses are taught by School of Law faculty from the
UC Davis and other University of California law
schools, the Graduate School of Management,
Departments of Economics and Agricultural and
Resource Economics. Additionally, outstanding practitioners
from private practice and government—lawyers,
economists, bankers, businessmen—have
acted as adjunct faculty to provide an applied perspective
through lectures, simulations and case studies.
Graduate Study
The Graduate Group in International Commercial
Law offers a program of study and research leading
to the M.A. degree through a Summer only program.
Students are required to take 36 quarter units of
study over three, four, or five summers. Thirty of the
units must be UC Davis courses. Six units may be
completed in another country with the approval of
the Director of the ICL program. The classes are
taught in an intensive format of 20 hours per week
or four hours per day, two hours of lecture in the
morning, two hours in the afternoon. Students complete
four core courses, starting with the Orientation
to U.S.A. Law and followed by three specialized
core courses in international commercial law. Elective
courses then provide in-depth study in focused
topics such as private international law, conflicts of
laws, intellectual property, business associations,
antitrust, tax, securities and finance and the like. Students
also complete a research paper.
Preparation
Foreign applicants must present satisfactory evidence
of the completion of legal academic training
at an accredited educational institution. Domestic
applicants must have completed at least six years of
resident study at accredited colleges and law
schools and must hold a professional degree from a
law school approved by the American Bar Association.
