Agriculture

Indiana's agriculture industry is high-growth and high tech. Changes in the business of agriculture and technologies used have tremendous potential for our economy, the environment-and your future. The Agriculture AAS degree at Ivy Tech will immerse students in the field of agriculture by taking a core of 33 credit hours of agriculture courses, 19 credit hours of general education courses and 15 credit hours of regionally determined courses. Students will gain hands-on experience and knowledge through class room, laboratory and field trip activities in a small class size environment with highly educated and experience instructors in agricultural disciplines. A supervised agriculture internship is also required in the curriculum. This internship allows students to apply concepts learned in the classroom, while developing connections within the agriculture industry.
