Big changes coming to the Farm and Industry Short Course(FISC), beginning almost immediately.  On Tuesday the UW–Madison’s College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) announced that FISC will switch from a for-credit, on-campus residential experience lasting 16 weeks, to a more flexible, non-credit format better able to meet the constantly changing needs of Wisconsin’s agribusiness community. The residential program will end this spring when the current class of Farm and Industry Short Course (FISC) students receive their certificates.

Pam Jahnke visits with FISC Director, Jennifer Blazek about the announcement, student reaction, and what's planned for the future.
