Beginning over a century ago, the community college system in the United Sates has grown steadily in response to the changing needs of career-focused high school graduates, including those pursuing careers in agriculture and bio-resources. Community colleges sometimes go by different names (such as institute, technical college, community college, junior college or just college), and they come in different types, including public, private, faith-affiliated and secular. They also vary in their academic focus, so be sure to look around thoroughly: you may find agriculture and bio-resources programs at community colleges offering general education in a variety of fields.
Community colleges aren't just less expensive than universities; they offer different programs, academic credentials and a smaller, completely different learning environment. Their programs are generally shorter than those at universities, such as 2-year associate's degrees and 1- to 2-year academic and pre-professional diplomas and certificates. These are specialized skills-based programs. For instance, community college degree options in agriculture and bio-resources include Associate of Science (AS) and Associate of Applied Science (AAS) with specializations in agriculture equipment management, agriculture business, agronomy, forest technology and animal science among others. Community college credits are usually transferable to university bachelor's degree programs, and community colleges may have specific transfer agreements with certain universities. Located in communities across the country, community colleges are a great option for getting started before transferring to a university program, or for getting the credential you need to start working. So start searching community colleges with agriculture and bio-resources programs now to get your future growing!
