Virginia
Tech will hold an open house Nov. 7 for students interested in the Agricultural
Technology Program in its College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
The
program was created to offer hands-on experience utilizing state-of-the
art equipment and facilities, a practical education that enables you to “hit
the ground running,” and gain industry experience with a required internship.
Students who successfully complete the two-year program earn an associate’s
degree, and they can specialize in applied agricultural management or landscape
and turf management.
Ag
Tech Program students use the same campus, labs, farms and other resources as
students enrolled in four-year programs. Typically 95 percent of graduates find
employment in their fields of interest within six months of earning their
degrees.
The
open house is 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at Litton Reaves Hall, Room 1870. A free lunch
will be provided at West End Market (the first true marketplace-style dining
operation on a university campus in the United States). More information can be
found at www.dining.vt.edu/centers/westend/west_end.html.
