Agricultural Education @ Plant City
The agricultural education program at the Plant City campus is housed on the Hillsborough Community College campus, but administered through UF/IFAS’s Gulf Coast Research and Education Center. Courses are delivered to students at Plant City through both on-campus and distance formats. The program is customized to address the needs of time- and/or place-bound students in the mid-state area, accommodates students who want a small college atmosphere, and offers the advantages of attending a large institution.
