Did you know high school students who have successfully completed all four Dairy Leaders of Tomorrow courses may be eligible to earn college credits? We have articulation agreements with two colleges/universities that allow students to get a headstart on some of their college agriculture courses and help to ease the financial burden of pursuing a degree in agriculture.
“I really like working independently on topics I’m passionate about. I liked how the DLT courses were self-paced. It helped me gain a lot of credits for just starting out in college. I’m currently a semester ahead as far as I’m aware. Even though I already had a strong foundation with my own livestock, DLT helped me have a better understanding to bring over to what I want to do after college.” –Natasha Maddox, a student at Delaware Valley University who benefited from the articulation agreement.
