Prepare for one of the region’s leading industries— agriculture offers unmatched, rewarding and challenging career opportunities. Agricultural managers plan, direct and coordinate the operation of farms, ranches, greenhouses, aquacultural operations, nurseries, timber tracts or other agricultural establishments. They supervise planting, cultivating, harvesting and financial and marketing activities. Graduates often seek mid-management employment in the aquaculture or environmental horticulture industry, or complete the A.A. Degree in Agriculture (Food & Resource) Economics before transferring to a university. Transfer agreements with the University of Florida College of Agriculture Extension, located in Fort Pierce, enable IRSC students to remain on the Treasure Coast.
