PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Offered in cooperation with the Vermont Technical College, the Farm
and Agricultural Resource Management Stewards (FARMS 2 + 2) degree program
enables students to make a seamless transition from dairy farm or agribusiness
management at VTC to a second two years at the College of Agriculture and
Life Sciences at the University of Vermont. Advanced material relating
to the courses taught at VTC is offered at UVM through one of two majors,
Animal Science or Agriculture and Resource Entrepreneurship. Successfully
completing one of these majors leads to a
Bachelor
of Science Degree in either Animal Science (ASCI) or
Community Development and Applied Economics (CDAE).
Also, students spend a semester at Miner Agricultural Research Institute
which provides a "
total immersion" that focuses entirely on the real
problems of managing a dairy farm. Students live at the Miner Institute
in Chazy, New York for the spring semester of their Junior year.
