Why Agriculture?

The Agriculture Field of Study includes the principles of animal care, crop and vegetable farming, marketing of farm products, sustainable practices, and large property management. Certificates in the areas of Production and Services, Agri-Biotechnology, and Precision Agriculture can be completed in one year or less and can be a starting point for a two-year degree. A.A.S. and A.G.S. degrees are considered “ready for work” programs. Students interested in pursuing a Bachelor’s degree should enroll in the A.S. degree. The Ag unit provides a hands-on learning lab for students in Agriculture.
