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 27 credit hours of agriculture courses and 18 credit hours of agriculture courses in one of four agriculture concentrations. 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.
Transfer Opportunities
The agriculture AS degree at Ivy Tech provides students with a strong foundation of agriculture, math, science and general education courses. Course work will prepare students to transfer into one of the many agriculture BS degree programs in the college of agriculture at Purdue University.
