1.2 Educational Program
The Land Resources Management (LRM) program is one of the study programs offered by the Department of Soil Science and Land Resources, Faculty of Agriculture, Bogor Agricultural University. The name of study program has been used since 2005, whereas it previously used several different names, including Bachelor of Soil Science. This program has been nationally accredited as the Primary League (or “Unggul”) by the National Accreditation Agency for Higher Education (BAN PT), No. 1141/SK/BAN-PT/Ak.KP/S/III/2023, awarded in 28 March 2023, operational until 5 July 2027.

1.3 Vision
To become a center of excellence in education, research and services to the community in the field of soil science and land resources as well as technologies to support sustainable agriculture, environmental sustainability and sustainable national development.

1.4 Mission
a. Providing a high-quality undergraduate programe in soil science and land resources management and producing competent graduates who can help ensure the attainment and enhancement of national competitiveness.
b. Develop science and technology innovations in soil science and land resources, and their management and utilization to support sustainable agriculture, environmental protection, and sustainable national development.
c. Apply and disseminate science and technology innovations in soil and land resources management to accelerate sustainable national development and community welfare.
d. Develop an effective, efficient, transparent, and accountable management system for the study program that will support the implementation of Tridharma (i.e. the three pillars of higher education: teaching, research, service) that underpins world-class higher education.

1.5 Objectives and Learning Outcomes
1.5.1 Objectives
The purposes of the Land Resource Management Study Program are to:
a. Develop agricultural graduates who master soil and land resources science and can devise ways to handle problems of using and managing soil and land economically while still relying on the principles of environmental sustainability.
b. Produce knowledge and technology related to lands and their resources solving various problems including their uses and management to support sustainable agriculture, environmental sustainability and sustainable national development.
c. Assist the community and government in tackling land resource problems to accelerate sustainable national development and community welfare.
d. Produce and implement a study program management system that is effective, efficient, transparent, accountable, high quality and has international achievements.
