WVU Potomac State College-SAGE Program

West Virginia University Potomac State College (PSC) is now offering a bachelor of applied science degree (B.A.S.) in sustainable agriculture entrepreneurship, simply referred to as SAGE. The four-year SAGE degree allows students to customize their own program, whether it’s starting a business producing specialty crops and meats, working with forestry products, or equine therapy specialization. Along with sustainable agriculture, the agriculture tourism boom is on the rise with movements like farm-to-table, pick your own fruits and vegetables, and destination farms like winery / microbrewery tours to name a few. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. S. Department of Labor, employment of agriculture and food-science technicians is projected to grow five percent from 2014 to 2024, which translates to more than 60,000 jobs in food, agriculture and renewable natural resources opening each year for the next five years. It's an amazing time to be a part of the new-food movement, and the shift and interest in local food products is everywhere - and here to stay. Potomac State's SAGE program is unique, and packed full of practical, hands-on and technical educational opportunities for any student.
