Two-year programs offer dairy and agricultural degrees. Two-year programs are perfect for a short, intense, thorough education. But finding a program that fits your educational needs and pocketbook can be a challenge. To make searching easier, we survey a list of North American schools offering two-year courses in dairy or animal science every three years. The results from schools responding to our 2014 survey appear in the table.
