Faculty members of the Ratcliffe Hicks School of Agriculture teach associates degree courses as well as baccalaureate and graduate courses. Business owners and other professionals in animal science and plant science may also be employed as instructors, providing a direct connection with the agricultural industry. Instructors and advisors are accessible, and our student to faculty ratio is low. RHSA emphasizes the importance of communication and interaction between students and faculty.
