Agriculture Business

Agriculture is becoming a highly specialized and technical industry. As a result, the demand for trained, enthusiastic people greatly exceeds supply. The Agriculture Business program provides graduates with a diverse technical, agricultural background with a combination of classroom theory and hands-on training. Students develop technical agricultural skills necessary in an agribusiness, as well as skills in communications, human relations, management and sales. Internships are an integral part of the program of study. With the increased technology and regulation in agribusiness, there is a high demand for qualified graduates. Students can specialize in the areas of Agriculture Finance and Precision Agriculture.

Agriculture Business students have the opportunity to apply for an apprenticeship program through Zurich North America. Students accepted into the apprenticeship program benefit from NICC classroom instruction, a structured work-based learning experience, earning a competitive wage during training, guaranteed job placement and a nationally-recognized industry credential.
