Associate of Applied Science: Agri-Business

This course of study is designed for the student who wants to work in a business related to agriculture. It involves intensive training in one of three areas. Under the Agri-Business major a student can receive a Technical Certificate in Animal Science or Economics. Your program of study can be tailored to meet your individual needs. The Animal Science option is designed for those interested primarily in livestock production, plus Agri-Business. The Economics option is designed for those interested primarily in economics as it relates to the Ag industry. The Agri-Business classes are still the core classes for any of the three program options. The Associate of Applied Science Degree will be awarded to students who fulfill the program requirements.
