This program will provide students with the skills necessary for
entry-level employment, or enhancement of present employment, in
the agriculture industry. It provides an overview of
agricultural careers, as well as opportunities to meet and work
with agricultural professionals in the area. Upon completion of
the program, students will be qualified for entry-level work
with agricultural businesses, including farm, ranch, and
entrepreneurial opportunities.
Should students choose to do so, the required certificate
classes and electives will transfer into the two-year Associate
of Science Degree in Agribusiness (page 58). This program also
allows opportunities for nontraditional students to enroll in
classes on a part-time basis.
The program course requirements are presented in sequence.
Part-time students and others who cannot follow this sequence
should check course descriptions in the Catalog to determine
prerequisites and, in addition, should consult their academic
advisor regarding the order in which they take courses. |
