Diverse Spaces Support Multiple Agriculture Programs
The Mars Ag Center allows for experiential agricultural learning with features such as a computerized commodities trading floor classroom, updated lab spaces, 2.5 acre field lab, an herbarium, multiple greenhouses, a livestock barn, and farrier barn.
Commodities Room
The Sheridan College is the only community college in the state that has a commodities room to provide real-time market analysis and education. The room is complete with 12 workstations, a live feed of the current stock prices that wraps around the room, and a floor to ceiling glass wall with a smart tint that can transform into a space to take notes.
Hands-on Learning
Whether you’re an Ag student or biology major, hands-on learning is always available. Faculty members have partnerships with community businesses, land management organizations, and livestock producers allowing students hands-on experiences outside the classroom. There are also two greenhouses that students run during the winter months.
Resources
The Ag Department has three active clubs as well as a research group. Faculty provides opportunities to engage students in learning outside the classroom through student employment (via a job board), student organizations, recreation activities, and intercollegiate athletics.
