Catalog Description

Agriculture is a broad multidisciplinary field of study that spans production and processing of food and fiber, including animal production and crop production, and soil cultivation.  Agriculture scientists study foundations of science, chemistry, math, and applied production practices that translate to real-world applications of growing food.


The Agriculture Science A.S. degree is designed to prepare students to transfer to the UC (University of California) system in programs such as Animal Science, Animal Biology, Animal Science & Management, Agriculture and Environmental Education, Agricultural & Environmental Technology, International Agricultural Development, and Plant Biology.  Students should meet with a counselor to discuss any additional requirements for their major of interest.
