The Yaroslavl State Agricultural Academy (Yaroslavl SAA;, ЯГСХА) is a public high educational institution in Yaroslavl, Russia. It trains specialists for agricultural industry, as well as dog handlers, veterinarians, and landscape designers.
In March 1944, the Yaroslavl Agricultural Institute was established on the basis of the Yaroslavl Agricultural College. Initially, the Yaroslavl SAI was located in the building of the city school No. 43. The first students of the institute were boys and girls from the villages, as well as veterans of the Great Patriotic War.[1]
