This study was aimed at determining students’ learning styles and its relationship with university teaching methods using a survey methodology. Samples of the study consisted of 194 students at both graduate and undergraduate levels from an agricultural college in Iran. Data collecting tool was a questionnaire with three parts which validated by a panel of experts from agricultural extension and education department of the university. Its reliability was tested during a pretest by Cronbach’s alpha and was 0.73. Results showed that a majority of the students (61.9%) used only two learning styles, namely accommodator and diverger. Furthermore, there was no significant relationship between the students’ learning style and gender, level of education, fields of education, or place of living (rural/urban). In contrast, a significant relationship was observed between the students’ learning style and three teaching methods including practicals, visit and field trips, and question and answer.
