Agricultural Science Programs at Columbia State

AGRICULTURE - AGRI BUSINESS
TTP: A.S.

Welcome to the Agriculture Department at Columbia state Community College! We offer a diverse selection of majors, including animal science, pre-veterinarian medicine, turfgrass management, landscaping, soil science, agriculture business, agricultural engineering, wildlife science and agriculture education.

Our program is designed to fulfill the first two years of a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture. After which, students in good academic standing will have the opportunity to transfer to a four-year institution with an agricultural degree program using the Tennessee Transfer Pathways program.
