“I chose Sheridan College because it is a beautiful location and the classes are small, which means lots of one-on-one time with the instructors. Also, there are a lot of scholarships available and that’s good news for any poor college student like me!
I really enjoy the classroom atmosphere at Sheridan College. Being able to call everyone by their first name creates a relaxed environment that helps everyone learn and get their work done. Not to mention that the course material is challenging and there is a great art program that is growing fast.”

People pursue a degree in theater for a number of reasons. Some just like to act. Others may want to pursue a career as a playwright, director or just become President of the United States. But what ever the reason, a degree in theater can take you to places you never envisioned.

Theater majors work in the field of entertainment, education, art direction, design, industry and commerce. The Sheridan College theater department is led by two outstanding actors/directors whose resumes include over twenty five years of professional theater experience and are both vested in Actors Equity Association.

Since its inception 10 years ago, the No Frills Theater Company of Sheridan College has produced classic theater, contemporary comedies, dramas and children’s theater. Productions include Antigone, You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, Harvey, Barefoot in the Park, Private Wars, Laundry and Bourbon, and Lone Star just to name a few.

For the past five years, the No Frills Theater Company’s productions have been entered in the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival/ Irene Ryan Scholarship competition. This competition has resulted in allowing outstanding young actors to compete on a national level.

Without a doubt, the Sheridan College theater program is at the top of its class, a place where we have more fun…… So come step into the spotlight!

SC AgAg @ Sheridan College

Sheridan College Ag. students study in the new multi-million dollar Watt Regional Ag. Center and enjoy small class sizes with competent, caring instructors. This is important to many students from smaller rural schools. We are proud of the fact that our transfer students consistently exhibit higher GPA’s than their peers who began their college careers elsewhere. If a quality education in a state of the art facility at an affordable price is what you are seeking, please contact any of the Sheridan College Ag. faculty for more information.

AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS

SC’s Agricultural Business & Business Option Program prepares the student for a number of exciting career and educational opportunities. Our students can focus their individual courses of study to meet their own personal goals. By emphasizing specific areas, the students choices include: Agricultural Business, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Sales, Farm and Ranch Management, Agricultural Communications, and Agricultural Education. We offer Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate of Applied Science degrees in the program. It is important to note that the majority of our students continue on to four year colleges and universities and we work closely with these schools to aid our transfers.

FOOD & MEAT SCIENCE EMPHASIS

SC’s Agriculture: Food Science option prepares students as entry-level food scientists or as transfer students into a baccalaureate program at a college or university. Food Science students benefit from classroom learning and then apply their skills in hands-on laboratory environments. A rewarding career awaits the student who pursues a degree in Food & Consumer Science at Sheridan College.

AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE

Sheridan College’s Agricultural Science Program allows Ag Science majors to tailor their course of study to match their own interests and goals. Whether the student is seeking a career spent outdoors, indoors or some combination of the two, a degree from Sheridan is a great first step.

Graduates in the Agricultural Sciences are sought by both the private and public sectors. The science of producing food and fiber, managing natural resources, and researching new and innovative ways to improve our environment lead to a tremendous demand from business’s nation wide.

The curriculum focuses on developing laboratory skills applicable to careers in biotechnology. Biotechnology students will develop skills in DNA and protein manipulation, database… applications, biomanufacturing, cell and tissue culture, and basic laboratory operating procedures. These skills can be used in a wide variety of disciplines, including agriculture, forensics, health science, and environmental science.

HORTICULTURE & SPORTS TURF MANAGEMENT

The results of trained horticulturists are all around us every day. Where an individual chooses to focus their energy determines which area of the horticultural field they will eventually work in. Horticulturalists are responsible for the parks we relax in, the golf and sports turfs we play on and the landscapes we enjoy. Much more than just “plant science”, horticultural students study the relationships between plants, soils, insects, animals and man. Unlike many agricultural fields that dictate living and working in a rural area, Hort. majors have the option of working literally anywhere in all of the fifty states. Presently, there are more job openings for Hort. majors than there are graduates.

NATURAL RESOURCES & RANCH LAND MANAGEMENT

SC’s Natural Resources & Ranch Mgmt. Program prepares students to transfer to bacheloriate programs and pursue careers in rangeland management. Sustainable management of our natural environment is necessary for ranching, agriculture, wildlife management, and enjoyment of our healthy and beautiful outdoor heritage. In t…his program students learn how to apply fundamental resource management skills. Students will have the opportunity to learn from experts in the field and participate in projects and practicums with area ranches, agencies, and industries.
