DMACC Agribusiness students have weekly lectures at FFA Enrichment Center and farm labs at Dallas County Farm that coincide with normal farm operations such as planting, harvesting, daily animal care, and everything in-between. Farm labs take place in the Fall and Summer semesters. The spring semester is a condensed, shortened term in which classes take place in the FFA Enrichment Center, but students are released for spring internships at approximately the end of March. Students may apply and interview for an internship working at the DMACC Dallas County Farm or find another business to work of their interest within the Agribusiness industry.
