Why College?

One of the first questions some prospective students ask is, “Why should I go to college?”

There are many reasons…the most obvious being that college increases the financial benefits most workers receive after completing each additional level of education.

If you’re thinking you want to be part of the home farm or try a career as a dairy manager/herdsman, a college education from a top dairy program will enhance your knowledge, business aptitude and critical thinking/problem solving skills. At UW-Madison, we teach you what’s current in dairy science while encouraging you to be a “life learner” in the career area of your choice.

With consolidation occurring and the trend moving toward fewer but larger farms, the dairy industry will become increasingly competitive in future years. An advanced education can provide job satisfaction and security. It’s the smartest, most rewarding thing you can do before starting your career.
