NMC and MSU offer a joint program where students dual enroll at both institutions. Students earn an Associate in Applied Science degree in Fruit and Vegetable Crop Management through NMC, and a certificate in Agricultural Technology from Michigan State University. All courses are taught in Traverse City. Upon completing the AAS requirements, students may transfer to MSU East Lansing as a junior to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree. Students pay NMC tuition for NMC courses and MSU tuition for MSU Institute of Agricultural Technology courses. A separate MSU IAT application is required.
