参加农业商业课程的学生这样做有几个目的; 
1)	They are agriculture business majors, 2) it is required for a major other than agriculture business, 3)技能提升.

All agriculture business courses are offered on the main campus. 我们试过在格伦中心开设课程，但报名人数少，课程不得不取消. 在格伦中心的课程可能是一个可行的选择，考虑到更高的晋升水平. 几乎所有农业商业专业的学生除了主修课程外，还选修通识教育课程.

AB classes have shifted to block scheduling. 分组调度使AB项目的注册对在职学生更实用. Nearly all of our students work as least part-time. 除了, most general education courses are also block scheduled, 因此，这一变化使学生更容易制定有效的时间表. 

Enrollment has been steady at between 32-35 students in all AB sections. 等待名单很早就填满了，很多情况下没有足够的空间给所有希望注册的学生. 留存率在90%以上. 超过一半的学生来自最近的12所提供职业农业课程的高中所覆盖的地区以外. 大多数(超过90%)皇冠新现金网的农业商业专业的学生表达了转到四年制大学的意愿. Chico State and Cal Poly are the most popular destinations. 平均年龄为20岁. Most students work as least part-time during the school year.

项目评审

Our only full-time faculty for both the AGS and AB programs, 罗伯特·兰德里, has taken the lead in the AB Program which includes an advisory role.  After having reviewed the last Ag Dept. 项目评审, 罗伯特继续提出以下与AB计划最相关的建议:
1.  保持他们目前为学生提供的坚实基础和实践, through core agricultural standards, while embracing change in technology and practices.  Innovation is needed to keep current with industry demands.
回应:AB教师通过参加会议和研讨会以及获得和维护行业认证，不断更新课程，以满足项目审查建议和行业需求.  另外, 教室设施得到了改善，各种教学相关的升级和技术.  与科罗拉多州立大学奇科AB项目在招聘和转学目标方面的合作正在进行中，并且是优先考虑的.  We feel through this collaborative approach with our 4 year partner, we can keep visible while continuing to meet the needs of the industry.
2.  We recommend that the department continues to prioritize projects, 看看数据(劳动力市场), industry need) to support the development of projects to pursue. Develop degrees and certificates to support career pathways. 建立一个跟踪系统，以帮助评估包括学生就业和技能组合在内的项目.
回应:我们正在与我们的农业咨询委员会合作，以确定目前我们的AB项目所提供的服务不足的职业道路.  At our fall 2016 Ag Advisory meeting, 我们在AB项目中发现了房地产评估证书的潜力.  我们目前正在研究这一选项以及其他已确定的选项.

部门目标

我们来年的主要目标是通过与当地高中的合作伙伴合作，在我们的服务领域大量招聘.
