College Diploma - Agribusiness (Co-op) - Victoria Avenue East Campus (Brandon)

Agriculture is big business. In this program, students will learn both the business and the science behind the industry.

This program includes a co-operative work placement between the first and second year, giving students practical experience before graduating. Jobs are numerous and diverse, whether one prefers city or country life. Graduates can build a career with grain companies, seed fertilizer providers, banks and credit unions, livestock supply outlets, agricultural equipment dealers, government agencies and co-operatives.
