 Return to: Programs by Divisions
The Agri- Science Associate of Science is a two-year program for students who will transfer to Austin Peay State University to continue study leading to the bachelor’s degree in Agriculture with a concentration in Agri-Science.
A recent national study predicts a shortage of college graduates in agriculture in the areas of management and science. Graduates with management and financial skills will be in demand. Agri-business, government agencies and related industries need managers and technicians who can communicate with farmers. Graduates who broaden their agricultural experiences with courses in business and computers can enhance their opportunities for employment in agriculture.
