Associate of Science Degree in Agricultural Business

This two-year program combines business administration with agricultural science and includes current ecological issues related to preserving our environment. The demand for both two- and four-year graduates is definitely on the rise and there is a projected shortage of graduates to fill many agricultural business jobs. A summer internship in an agricultural business is encouraged but not required. 

This program is designed to give students some basic agricultural business skills that will allow them to seek employment after two years of study or transfer credits to a four-year college or university.

The Associate of Science Degree is awarded upon completion of the curriculum.
