Agronomy and soils courses will conduct laboratory activities in the greenhouse, grain grading lab and the plant science lab. The average class size is less than 30 students with labs of about half that size. The department believes in providing students with a strong foundation of academic theory and then applying that theory into action through labs, homework, computer assignments and tours. Students are assigned faculty advisors to aid them in planning their programs, work out semester class schedules and career exploration. This program concentrates more on mechanics than the Transfer emphasis program.
Some students choose to extend their education by transferring to a four- year program.
Students who don't return directly to the farm find employment in varied agricultural areas relying on their farm background and instruction in farm records, agriculture production and mechanics.
