Students
enrolled in the Agriculture Program at Kaskaskia College
can earn an Associate in Applied Science Degree by completing
studies in any of three areas, Agriculture Business,
Agriculture Production or Dairy. These options require
a core of thirteen courses in Agriculture and approximately
seven general education courses. In order to obtain
a degree under the Agriculture Business option, students
will enroll in five additional Agricultural courses
that emphasize the business side of agriculture including
sales, and management. Students enrolled in the Agriculture
Production option will complete four courses unique
to this option that emphasize the technical and mechanical
side of production agriculture, including engines, harvesting,
and air conditioning. Dairy option students will enroll
in four Agriculture courses that emphasize dairy production.
Students can also earn a one–year certificate in Agriculture
Machinery. Extensive on–the-job experience is included
in all programs.
All degree options prepare the student for entry
level positions in the workforce, or can serve as a
transfer degree if the graduate chooses to continue
his or her education at a four year university.
