Muskegon Community College partners with Michigan State University's Institute of Agricultural Technology (MSU IAT) to offer agriculture programs including Agricultural Operations, Food Processing Technology and Safety, Fruit & Vegetable Crop Management, Landscape Management, and Urban Forest Management. Programs combine classroom instruction with field laboratories, internships, and applied learning. Students can earn MSU certificates while working toward an MCC associate degree, with at least 28 MCC credits recognized by MSU, reducing overall program cost.
