The Butte College Mechanized Agriculture Program offers students an option to earn either a one-year Certificate of Achievement or an Associate of Science degree.
Problem solving, emphasizing safe and cooperative work habits, is encouraged.
Success in this program will be enhanced by high school shop work and basic skills classes. Whenever power equipment is operated, maintained or repaired, there exists a need for well-trained employees. Production agriculture and its equipment suppliers, the rental industry, landscape businesses, recreation and construction industries are just a few of the employment possibilities. Upon completion of the Associate of Science degree, students may transfer to one of several California state universities which offer a Bachelor's degree in mechanized agriculture. This is a suggested sequence of classes which may require adjustment to fulfill individual needs, or if you need to fulfill basic skills prerequisites.
