Associate in Science in Agriculture

Because this degree is a nested component of the existing BS in Agriculture, it builds directly on the same mission and learning outcomes while offering a shorter, accessible pathway to a degree. Courses required in the program emphasize a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates agricultural science, natural resource utilization and conservation, and agricultural policy, equipping students with both technical knowledge and applied skills relevant to the region’s agricultural economy. Each major curricular component, whether focused on plant and animal systems, agricultural business, or resource stewardship, contributes to the program’s overarching goals of advancing, integrating, broadening, and communicating agricultural knowledge, while also fostering civic engagement and preparing students to address challenges related to productivity and environmental sustainability. The major is designed to prepare graduates for occupations such as agricultural technicians, food science technicians, crop and animal farmworkers, equipment operators, landscapers and groundskeepers, pesticide applicators, and graders and sorters. The program supports critical occupations, aligns with multiple workforce ecosystems, and provides skilled graduates to meet local and state-wide demand.
