California needs over 8,000 additional trained people each year for employment in agriculture. The training program at SRJC prepares the student for a choice of jobs on the farm as well as related jobs off the farm. Working conditions in agricultural positions are ideal for those individuals who enjoy working with animals.
It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year
institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are
intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities,
specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a
counselor,
