As farm and land management has grown more complex and costly, farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers have increasingly needed postsecondary education, such as an associate's degree or bachelor's degree in agriculture or a related field. The Associate of Science in Agriculture Technology degree provides students the diverse skillsets necessary to work competently in various sectors of the agriculture industry. Additionally, the program prepares those students with the foundational knowledge necessary to transfer to a four-year program in agriculture or a related field. Students should check with their intended transfer institution to ensure transferability.
