Because dairy farming is the leading agricultural enterprise in Michigan, the dairy program has been developed to meet the specialized needs of the herd manager and commercial dairy farmer. Opportunities abound for persons with the combination of classroom training in the areas of dairy husbandry, nutrition, artificial insemination, crops, farm management and the practical experience that may be obtained on any of the many cooperating dairy farms in Michigan and the neighboring states.
Programs of study tailored to meet the individual's wants and needs are designed around the subject matter areas of agricultural economics, communications, crop and soil sciences and agricultural mechanics. Additionally, students may have the opportunity to secure first hand experience working with the dairy herd at the Kellogg Biological Station.
If a course is not offered every semester, that is noted in the course description column (F=offered Fall Semester, S=offered Spring Semester, SU=offered Summer Semester).
