Agritourism provides a cutting-edge option for students looking to enter the agricultural industry or return to a home operation and increase business viability through an alternative enterprise while maintaining the cultural heritage. The Agritourism Certificate provides graduates the skills necessary to enter careers as Agritourism enterprise managers, entrepreneurs in their own enterprise, non-formal educators serving as developers of educational activities and programs for recreational sites, national parks, private farms or ranches and local or state tourism agencies.
