GENERAL AGRICULTURE
PROGRAM INFORMATION
This program is designed to give students a broad background to prepare them for many different occupations in the field of agriculture and agricultural business.
TRANSFER STUDENTS Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university admission requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. Private and out-of-state colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both transfer requirements and associate degree requirements.
The G.E. PATHS program is an exciting new bonus for students enrolled in many of our courses.
