A D3 degree takes about 3 years and is more vocational, with a depth equivalent to a technician or middle-manager qualification. Some programs use a specific commodity focus, such as palm oil agribusiness.
D4
A D4, or Applied Bachelor's degree, takes about 4 years and emphasizes practical competencies and industrial application. For example, it may focus more specifically on food agribusiness and agro-industry.
S2
An S2 degree deepens analysis, strategy formulation, policy, and agribusiness research. Graduates are typically geared toward roles as analysts, policy managers, researchers, or lecturers.
S3
An S3 degree focuses on original research and the development of theories or strategic solutions for agribusiness issues. The duration and final outcomes are more in-depth than an S1, with the main output being a dissertation.

Facility Checklist

GUIDE

Questions specific to Agribusiness to bring to an open house or campus visit. Important facilities vary by program — these matter most.

Note: Myjor doesn't maintain a facilities database per campus. This is a tool for you to assess it yourself.

Is farmland or practice land available for students to understand farming activities and supply chains?
Do students have access to laboratories or practice rooms that support agribusiness analysis?
How does the campus describe facilities for processing, storage, or commodity supply chain simulations?
Is a computer lab available with software for data analysis and business feasibility studies?
How often do students go on field visits to farms, cooperatives, markets, or agro-industries?
Can practice facilities be used for student projects outside of scheduled classes?
How does the campus ensure field facilities are safe and maintained?
Can students borrow survey equipment or field data recording tools?

Tip: ask for a tour of the relevant labs/studios, not just the main building. Ask about access hours and whether undergrads can use the equipment.

Academic Quality

GUIDE

Three objective ways to assess a program's academic quality — including how to check them yourself.

A

Program accreditation status

Check the program's own accreditation rating (not just the campus's) on official sites. International accreditation is a plus for certain fields.

Unggul / A — top tier Baik Sekali / B Baik / C

Check at: BAN-PT (banpt.or.id) or the relevant LAM, & PDDIKTI (pddikti.kemdikbud.go.id).

B

Student–faculty ratio & how to calculate it

ratio = active students ÷ full-time faculty
Example: 600 students ÷ 25 faculty = 1 : 24
✓Ideal: ≈1:20 for STEM/science fields, ≈1:30 for social sciences/humanities (per Ministry of Education guidance).
!The smaller the second number, the more attention each student gets. Above 1:40 is worth flagging.
!Also check faculty qualifications (Master's/PhD) and whether there are industry practitioner lecturers.
C

Faculty research — relevant & current?

Look up faculty profiles and publications (Google Scholar / SINTA). For Agribusiness, look for those researching currently relevant topics:

Efficiency of food commodity supply chainsFinancial feasibility of farming enterprisesMarketing strategies for agricultural productsEntrepreneurship and agribusiness modelsCommodity price risk managementFinancing access for farming enterprisesDigitalization of agricultural product marketingValue-added development for agricultural productsFarmer institutions and cooperativesFood security and agribusiness sustainability

E.g., is there faculty researching AI, or cancer-related topics? Active research topics signal the program keeps up with the field.

ASK AT THE OPEN HOUSE

"What's this program's student–faculty ratio? What research topics are faculty currently working on? What percentage of graduates find field-relevant jobs within 6 months?"

05

Partnerships

GUIDE

Campus partnerships heavily shape internship, research, and career paths. Which partners matter varies by program — here's what's relevant for Agribusiness.

Agribusiness and agroindustry companies
Ask about internship opportunities, case studies, industry visits, and supply chain projects.
Cooperatives and farmer groups
Ask about access for enterprise surveys, mentoring, and institutional strengthening projects.
Retail companies and food distributors

Agricultural financing institutions

Ask for a list of official partners with active MoUs — not just logos in a brochure. Ask how many students are actually placed each year.
