History of the institution
Belarusian Agricultural Academy opened its doors to the first students in 1840 in Gorki. At that time, the educational institution did not have such a name. It was called the Gorygoretskaya agricultural school. Agronomists and administrators for private and state estates came out of its walls. In 1848 an important transformation took place. The school was divided into 2 educational institutions - an agricultural institute and an agricultural school.
In 1863there was an uprising. After this event, the institute was moved to St. Petersburg. Only the school remained in Gorki. Later it was decided to restore the institute in this city. This event happened in 1919, and in 1925 the status of the educational institution increased. This is the history of the agricultural academy.
