The Associate of Arts, AA at JCCC is a general transfer degree and partners well with the first two years of most bachelor degree programs. Students pursuing the AA may select courses that satisfy both the AA degree requirements and lower division requirements for a bachelor’s degree at four-year institutions. The elective hours within the AA allow students to complete additional general education and lower division courses required for specific majors. The AA degree requires completion of 60 credit hours. Meeting with a JCCC counselor is strongly recommended for selection of appropriate courses. Horticulture Production OptionAn education combining horticulture and business courses prepares students for opportunities in propagation and production of potted crops, bedding plants, trees and shrubs, cut flowers. This program also prepares students for careers in organic, sustainable, and conventional fruit and vegetable production. Many students obtain professional positions as greenhouse, nursery, or garden center managers or with allied trades such as seed breeding companies, supply firms, research greenhouses, retail floral shops, and wholesale brokers. Employment opportunities also include owner or manager of a fruit or vegetable farm; organic farmer; or work with non-profit organizations in the new area of urban and community gardening. Graduates would also be qualified to be field representatives for processing, agricultural input suppliers, or equipment companies; or as managers, buyers, field representatives, or produce brokers/marketing representatives. This degree requires a minimum of 120 credit hours. No more than seventy-five hours may be transferred as credit from a community college. | |
