Career Certificates are intended to certify that students successfully completing this program are prepared to enter the careers associated with this certificate. They usually take at least one to two years to complete. These programs are approved by the California Community College Chancellor's Office.
Students in the Equine Science Program will receive training in the selection, feeding, and management of horses.
Forty percent of all people gainfully employed in the United States today are engaged in some kind of agricultural work. California alone needs over 8,000 additional trained people each year for employment in agriculture. The training program at Santa Rosa Junior College prepares the student for a choice of jobs on the farm as well as off-farm related jobs. Many employment opportunities are in agriculturally related fields. Working conditions in agricultural jobs are ideal for those individuals who like to work out-of-doors with living things.
The requirements for this certificate are effective beginning the semester shown below. If you began working on this certificate before the effective semester, you may not be affected by any changes to the program. Consult with a counselor or department chair to determine your eligibility to complete the certificate under previous requirements.
