General Agriculture
Advisor: Dr. Leland S. Shapiro
PROGRAM INFORMATION
This program is designed to give students a broad background to prepare them
for many different occupations in the field of agriculture and agricultural
business.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university admission
requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement
for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. Private and out-of-state
colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you
would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early
educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a
counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both
transfer requirements and associate degree requirements.
