The Agriculture, Water, and Environmental Technologies program focuses on the diverse impacts of modern agriculture, extending beyond traditional farming and ranching to include health, safety, biosecurity, and environmental sustainability. California's leadership in agriculture means a constant demand for innovative and efficient practices in food production for both national and global markets. This program prepares students for various career pathways, including agricultural support (conservation, veterinary services), agricultural production, water and environmental services (irrigation, hazardous materials management), and agricultural wholesale trade (business administration, operations, sales).
Graduates of the Agriculture, Water, and Environmental Technologies program are prepared for a growing job market. Career pathways include agricultural support services, direct agricultural production, and roles in water and environmental management. Business and sales positions within the agricultural wholesale trade are also viable options.
