School of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics
The Associate of Science degree in Agriculture introduces students to fundamental principles underlying the field of agriculture. Students will gain foundational knowledge in Biology, Chemistry, and Geology, which will provide the groundwork for future studies in agriculture. This degree pathway prepares students to succeed in a bachelor's degree program in agriculture or various agriculture-related fields or continue towards a Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Natural Resources at GHC.
To qualify for graduation, students must meet all graduation requirements.

Required if not taken in Area D
Students in science pathways should consult an advisor to coordinate Area D course selections with Area F requirements. In some pathways, students who accumulate 11 hours in Area D may elect to take four hours in Area B. In some pathways, students who accumulate excess hours in Area D may apply one to two hours to Area F.
Several different majors within the field of agriculture are offered at senior-level institutions. Since desirable course selections in Area F vary among these majors, students should be guided by their advisor in making these selections.
