Wright State Lake Campus agriculture program growing to meet local needs

Excerpt

The Wright State University Lake Campus Agriculture program was established in 2009 to meet the local needs in training individuals for career opportunities in the broad field of agriculture, ranging from farm production and business services to food manufacturing.

The campus currently offers a Certificate in Farm Management, an Associates of Technical Study in Agriculture, and a Bachelors of Technical and Applied Studies in Agriculture. The Lake Campus is somewhat unique in that few colleges offer the opportunity for students to advance through various levels of a degree (2+2 format) all at one location. The program also benefits from the strong support of the local agricultural industry from guest speakers, adjunct professors, and tour locations. This direct application of material is useful to students that desire a hands-on relevant education. Each semester, the campus offers a variety of coursework ranging from animal science and crop production to agricultural business and food science courses.
