Joliet Junior College Offers Online Spring Ag Courses for Students

By Andi Anderson

Joliet Junior College (JJC) is offering high school students a valuable opportunity to explore the world of agriculture through its fully online Agriculture and Horticulture courses for the Spring 2026 semester. Enrollment for these courses is now open, giving students the flexibility to earn college credits while still in high school.

These online classes are designed for students who may face scheduling challenges, participate in remote learning, or are homeschooled. They also serve as an excellent option for those who want to get a head start on college education and gain early exposure to agricultural studies.

The Agriculture and Horticulture courses are transferable, which means students can apply the earned credits toward future college programs, helping them advance their academic and career goals in the agricultural field. Another key benefit is accessibility — the courses are open to high school students regardless of their location, as there are no out-of-district fees. This makes the program inclusive and affordable for learners across different regions.

JJC’s Agriculture program has a strong reputation for blending theory with practical understanding. By participating in these online courses, students can gain foundational knowledge in areas such as crop production, plant science, and horticulture, all while experiencing flexible, interactive learning from home.

This initiative reflects Joliet Junior College’s ongoing commitment to making agricultural education more accessible to students interested in pursuing a future in farming, agribusiness, or environmental science.

Students or parents seeking more details about the Spring 2026 online Agriculture and Horticulture courses can contact Professor Tammy Miller from the JJC Agriculture Department at tmiller@jjc.edu.

These courses provide a convenient and engaging way for high school students to explore their passion for agriculture while earning college credits that support their long-term educational goals.
