Online agriculture courses

Illinois Virtual School has three courses available at $165 per student per semester.

Introduction to Agriculture – Sem 1 and Sem 2
Agriscience – Sem 1 and Sem 2
Veterinary Science

These colleges offer agriculture courses online for high school students across the state, which is a great opportunity for students to take agriculture courses that have a scheduling conflict and for students that attend a high school that doesn't offer agriculture courses:
