      abstract = {This research has used a mixed methodology with  both
quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study  population
included three groups; the post-graduate  students, professors
and academic staff at two  universities, Khouzestan Ramin
Agriculture and Natural  Resources University and Bu-Ali Sina
University. For  collecting quantitative data among 320 students,
175 were  selected using random sampling and based on the
Morgan  table. In order to collect qualitative data, 41  professors
and academic staff of the two universities were  selected based
on a criterion purposeful sampling.  Gathering tool in quantitative
part was a questionnaire  including three-parts. The questionnaire's
reliability was  tested by Cronbach's Alpha technique and the
total mean  reliability of scales was 84% (α=0.84). For  collecting
qualitative data, semi-structured interviews  were used. A summarized
content analysis was used in order  to analyze the interviews'
data. Quantitative data analysis  was conducted in
two parts: descriptive and analytical.  Results showed that a
sustainable agricultural higher  education needs a series of
factors, characteristics and  conditions. These factors at economic,
social, cultural,  and environmental dimensions include: financial
and credit,  employment and entrepreneurship, the  agricultural
productivity, social issues, building culture,  and environmental
awareness. Results also indicated that a  sustainable university
should address four elements of  education, research, management
and planning, and outreach  programs in a pool of two-way
communication between these  elements and the real needs of
society and environment.},
