Associate inScience – Agriculture Transfer

Why Ag Transfer

Students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in science with a major in agriculture are encouraged to enroll in the Associate in Science – Agriculture Transfer at Black Hawk College East Campus.

All East Campus courses have been articulated with the four Illinois universities that offer degrees in agriculture: Illinois State University (Normal), Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Western Illinois University (Macomb) and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. These articulation agreements allow students completing the associate degree in agriculture to continue their education at these four-year institutions without loss of credits.

Many BHC East Campus agriculture graduates have successfully transferred to universities across the country, such as Purdue, Iowa State, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Colorado State and Texas A & M.

Students should work closely with an academic advisor to plan a two-year program designed for successful transfer of credits.
