Agriculture
The demand for trained agriculturists is high. Today farmers, ranchers, and agribusiness people rely heavily on college educated, highly trained people to provide technical and professional services for their many and varied needs. Sierra College's Agriculture Department offers a variety of program specializations that prepare students for careers in agriculture and for advanced study.
Animal Science
The Sierra College A.S. degree in Animal Science prepares students for employment in farming, ranching, animal care, and agribusiness occupations related to the products and services associated with farming and ranching. Completion of a certificate in Animal Science qualifies students for many civil service jobs in the livestock industry. Animal Science grads serve the beef, sheep, swine, dairy, poultry, and equine industry throughout the U.S. and the world.
Equine Studies
The Equine Program at Sierra College offers practical hands-on experience in all areas of horse husbandry. The broad curriculum provides students with a good foundation for advancement into further studies, or for moving directly into the work force. Western and English riding techniques are covered. Equine majors are personally advised regarding program choices, course offerings, and job opportunities.
