Agriculture Science

The Associate in Science degree is designed to transfer to a four-year college or university and has a greater emphasis in mathematics and science than the Associate in Arts degree.

The Associate of Science in Agriculture Science degree allows graduates to enter four-year colleges or universities with 62 credits and/or junior standing. Students wishing to transfer with this standing must work closely with the Hawkeye advising staff because specific baccalaureate program requirements vary.

Our 400-acre Center for Agriculture Science Education (CASE) utilizes new and up-to-date facilities and equipment to provide students hands-on experience with the latest production and management techniques.
