Agribusiness Specialist - Agronomy
If you want to become a specialist in crop production and soil management, then the Agribusiness Specialist Agronomy Certificate at Garden City Community College is for you! This certificate is great for individuals who already have experience in the field and are interested in obtaining a documentation of their knowledge, professionalism, and skills in the industry. Your study in courses such as Soils and Soils Lab, Crops, and Range Management will further supplement the experiences you have already gained throughout your career.
If you don't have agronomy experience yet, an Agribusiness Specialist Agronomy Certificate is a great way to get into the field and learn about various industries. To further your knowledge, an agriculture internship is suggested as part of the certification. This program consists of supervised work experience in an agricultural operation. You may choose the areas of greatest interest or specialization for your internship experience, and will have a chance to learn about Feedlot Technology, Agricultural Mechanics, Meat Animal Evaluation, Production Agriculture, and Sales and Services.
