The Agricultural Machinery Technology - AAS degree is a second-year continuation of the Agricultural Machinery Technology certificate program. The one-year certificate coursework stacks into the associates of applied science in agricultural machinery technology. The associate degree also transitions very easily into a bachelor’s program in agricultural systems technology or agricultural education.

In addition to coursework training, machinery dealerships and companies hold in-service training at USU where students can receive training and certification for repairs and operations of the latest agricultural equipment. Upon completion of these programs, employers often seek after students from USU’s program, resulting in extremely high job placement.

The program is designed to deepen students preparation for a career in the agricultural equipment industry. Coursework requirements include technical hands-on training on engines, power trains, hydraulics, DC electrical, and specialized forage, harvesting, tillage, planting, and spraying equipment. Core skill development focuses on testing, diagnosis, and repair of equipment. Because it is an associate degree program, a minimum of six credits of general education courses are required.
