The Hemp Agriculture major provides a rigorous and comprehensive foundation for students seeking positions in the hemp industry that propagate, grow, and market a variety of products for consumers, commercial enterprises, or the wholesale market. The program delivers both lecture and hands-on laboratory experience in: Plant science, growth, and development; Soil and plant nutrition; Integrated pest management; Nursery and crop production; Irrigation methods, system design, and troubleshooting; and Principles of sustainable agriculture. While these topics apply to production of any crop, these courses will offer contextualized units, assignments, and/or lab activities that apply these topics to specific aspects of the hemp plant. Hemp represents a multi-billion dollar industry and is poised to grow exponentially following federal legalization in 2018. Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a genetically distinct biotype of cannabis sativa grown for fiber, seed or oil. In federal law, hemp by definition contains less than 0.3% THC, the compound in marijuana known for its psychoactive effects (the euphoric “high”). Hemp is used in the production of a wide range of products, including food and beverages, cosmetics and personal care products, nutritional supplements, fabrics and textiles, construction and insulation materials, and other manufactured goods. In addition, hemp is used to produce non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD), which has shown enormous promise for a variety of medical applications. While this major is focused on hemp agriculture students may apply the knowledge and skills attained to a variety of agricultural production careers. This program of study is also available as a certificate option.
Program Student Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate primary methods of plant propagation in the hemp industry.
- Identify and compare important developmental stages of the hemp plant.
- Design a hemp production plan and schedule from soil preparation through harvest.
- Identify and analyze sustainable agronomic hemp cultivation practices.

- Facilitate patient and family learning by providing information and resources to support health and manage disease.
Program Selection Process:
The selection process is in compliance with Title 5 of the California Education Code. Screening is based on a probability of student succeeding in an ADN program. The score is determined by a formula using the following four criteria:
- Overall College GPA within the last 5 years prior to application to the ADN program
- English Composition GPA (English 1A or equivalent)
- Overall GPA in the following prerequisite sciences (anatomy, physiology, microbiology)
- Minus the number of repeats, withdraws, no credits, and incomplete grades in the core sciences (negative predictor of success).
Senate bill 1309 legislates that ADN programs are to implement assessment testing of students prior to the student being allowed to start ADN coursework. Beginning Spring 2008, all students who are accepted into the SRJC ADN program will be required to successfully pass an assessment test. Those students who pass the test may enroll in ADN coursework. Those students who do not pass are required to take remedial coursework and successfully complete assessment testing before being allowed to enter the ADN program.

dfamini@santarosa.eduProgram Description:
The Pre-Veterinary Studies major is designed to provide insight into the veterinary career field, and a solid foundation in the science courses for students with a goal of attending a professional veterinary medicine program such as the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Veterinarians have Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degrees from one of 30 Veterinary Schools in the United States. This is a graduate degree that requires most students to earn a Bachelor’s Degree as part of their journey towards earning a DVM. Each veterinary school has slightly different pre-requisite requirements. A student's state of residency has a major impact on the likelihood of admission for most schools; therefore, Santa Rosa Junior College Pre-Veterinary major is modeled after the requirements for UC Davis. Students are encouraged to review the requirements of different schools through the Association of American Veterinary Medical College's website (aavmc.org).
Program Student Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate understanding of the veterinary medical career field and generate a personal academic and occupational plan.
- Demonstrate an understanding of foundational concepts in the fields of biology, chemistry and statistics to prepare students towards admissions into a veterinary school.
