Agriculture
Students graduating in this program will have
the foundation for a lifetime of learning and practicing skills
that increase the profitability of the farm operation. The
program is designed to provide improved production skills
in the areas of crop and livestock production, agriculture
mechanics and farm business management. A Diploma in Agriculture
will be awarded after the first year. Certificates may also
be received. Click on "View Additional Information"
to find out about certificates.
Many of the courses found in the Associate
of Applied Science Agriculture degree programs may transfer
to meet requirements for a B.S. degree in agriculture at several
state universities.
Many opportunities are given to students
who choose the Agriculture Program. This program offers diplomas
and degrees in Agriculture Production and Agriculture Supplies
and Services.
Additionally, the Agriculture Specialization
Certificate is designed to meet the needs of students who
are presently fully employed and only have limited time to
attend class. Students wanting to incorporate economics classes
into livestock or crop areas would also benefit greatly from
the certificate. Students will be expected to complete four
courses: one each from the areas of Agronomy, Animal Science
and Economics AND another Agriculture elective.
