ACC celebrated the grand opening of the Elgin Campus on Aug. 29. The college will offer two new degree plans specifically designed for the Elgin location. The Sustainable Agricultural Entrepreneurship program focuses on how to move food from ground to table efficiently. The Veterinary Technician program offers an Associate of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology and a Veterinary Assistant certificate. ACC President and CEO Dr. Richard Rhodes said these programs may become transfer programs to Texas A&M in the future.<\/p>\n
