Abstract

Resumo

O artigo apresenta um estudo comparativo entre os land-grant colleges e a Escola Superior de Agricultura de Viçosa (ESAV). Pretende examinar o modo como a Escola adotou o modelo daqueles colleges, considerados a base da moderna educação superior de massa nos Estados Unidos. O estudo conclui que o processo de assimilação do modelo se completou no final da década de 1940, quando acordos de assistência técnica foram firmados com organismos norte-americanos. Tais acordos contribuíram para que a ESAV se tornasse universidade rural e, mais tarde, para envolvê-la nos programas da United States Agency for International Development no Brasil.

Palavras-chave: educação comparada; escolas agrícolas; educação superior.
