Likert scale used in questionnaire and 301 students (girls and boys) selected by random in 11 majors of agriculture faculty. Difference between attitudes of freshman and seniors was no significant. But senior students' interest and attitude to their majors had increased during the course study. There was a significant difference between male and female student's attitude; boy's attitude was weaker than girl's. Familiarity with agriculture, interest in practical agriculture, profitability in scientific agriculture and offering engineering degree in agriculture were factors that created a positive attitude in students.
