In their first year, students complete the requirements of either the Horticulture Crop Production and Protection certificate or the Livestock Production certificate before going on to year two. All courses from these certificates apply to the diploma program.
In their second year, students develop additional expertise in their chosen area of practice, learn about sustainable holistic agricultural practices, and explore issues relating to on-farm food safety, quality, and security. Students also develop their writing, business, and marketing skills both by completing coursework and a hands-on enterprise project where they get to develop a business plan for an agricultural venture.
After students have gained two years of experience in the industry, they may wish to complete a Bachelor of Business Administration for Agriculture Management to learn the fundamentals of business management theories and practices and prepare to take up a leadership role in any agribusiness or agricultural agency.
If students have selected the Horticulture option, they may choose in their third semester to transfer their credits to the four-year Bachelor of Agricultural Science. Or students may finish their fourth semester to earn their Agriculture Technology diploma and enter the Bachelor of Agriculture Science in semester five, after they complete pre-requisite Biology and Statistics courses.
