Degrees Offered & Transfer Programs for Careers in Agriculture
If you are seeking a career in Agribusiness, Natural Resources, Animal Systems, Food Products and Processing, or Environmental Systems, please contact an Advisor to discuss the most effective route to achieve your goals. We have tailored our programs to fit nicely with other local Universities so your work here gets you further when you transfer.
The Associates of Science in Agriculture is a traditional 60 hour Associates Degree with an emphasis on the history and governmental aspects of the Agriculture Industry.
Students can also obtain a Farm and Ranch Management Certificate which introduces them to various “hands-on” aspects of farm and ranch work. After obtaining the certificate, a student is about half way complete with the coursework for the AS Degree and can apply credits towards furthering their educational goals.
