Sustainable Agriculture & Resource Systems

Wenatchee Valley College ETPL
Wenatchee Valley College offers two associate of technical science degree programs in Sustainable Agriculture and Resource Systems. The transfer degree articulates to Washington State University's Agriculture and Food Science degree program in a variety of majors. The non-transfer degree prepares students to enter directly into employment in agriculture and related fields. The program builds educational pathways for students using core courses and electives to custom design a program to fit each student's emphasis area and intended educational outcome. Faculty advisers work closely with students to determine courses that will best meet their unique educational needs. Examples of three possible emphasis areas are General Agriculture, Tree Fruit Production, and Sustainable and Organic Agriculture. Many other pathways are possible, including Horticulture, Natural Resources, Agribusiness, and Agriculture Education.
