FFA Degrees

FFA degrees are important benchmarks in a member’s education and FFA journey. Whether you’ve been in FFA for a while or you’re a new member, now is the perfect time to start working toward earning the FFA degrees on your way toward the coveted American FFA Degree – the gold standard of FFA achievements.

“Meeting the requirements to earn FFA degrees leads members to be more involved in their school, chapter, and community, thus gaining new experiences and recognition,” says Brett Evans, SAE education specialist for the National FFA Organization. “The desire to earn FFA degrees motivates higher academic achievement.”

Five degrees are available to FFA members. Learn more about each degree, what it takes to earn a degree, and how FFA degrees can help you achieve your academic and career goals.
