When students graduate from our agriculture programs they have more than an education, they have a resume. A key component of our programs, the foundation on which they are built, is the cooperative work experience. Students spend a large share of their time getting on-the-job experience at agriculturally-related businesses.

That pays tremendous dividends for our students in a number of different ways. One of the biggest is that they have more than classroom grades to show for the time they spend earning their degree. They can show a prospective employer an actual resume of work experience, giving them a leg up on students from other colleges who are competing for those same jobs.

A second big advantage is that, well, it pays. Students can actually earn enough money during their time in college to pay off their college education. In fact, many students even have a little spending money left over after they pay their bills.

All of our agriculture career programs are located at Muscatine Community College. For students from outside the Muscatine area, the college's modern student housing complex is just a few steps away from your classroom.
