Agriculture Pre-Transfer Program

The Pre-Agriculture curriculum is a two-year transfer program designed to provide basic knowledge in the field of agriculture. Students who graduate with the transfer program are ready to move on to a four year institution. Many opportunities lie within the agriculture industry. The industry requires more formal training and hands-on experience including business practices and application. The Associate of Science Degree is recommended for students pursuing a 4-year degree in any agriculture science field, ( i.e. Animal Science, Soil or Grain Science, Pre-Vet, Food Science, etc.). The Associate of Arts Degree is recommended for students seeking a career in Agriculture Business, Finance, and Education/Extension.

The program offers five core courses: Livestock Science & Management, Animal Nutrition, Soils, Crop Science & Management and Agricultural Economics. These courses are all designed to present information through classroom lecture and expose students to application in the business and industry setting. Many tours and lab sections in the field enhance the value of each course and provide numerous industry contacts.
