Agriculture Transfer Program at Kishwaukee College

Agriculture Transfer

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.

In our agricultural transfer program, you may:

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.
