Agricultural transfer students get the best of both worlds — they complete their general education requirements and take 100- and 200-level classes focused on the agriculture industry. With evolving career opportunities, agriculture is a rich and innovative industry. Marketing, merchandising, sales, crop research, animal genetics, agribusiness, soil science, communications, engineering and production are just a few of the many roles in demand in agriculture. So, if you plan to go into agriculture and earn a four-year degree, this may be your program.

- Pursue an Associate in Science degree with an emphasis in Agriculture before transfer.
- Personalize your coursework to prepare for your specific transfer program.
- Learn the ins and outs of agriculture and hone in on the role you want to pursue.
