The Agriculture transfer curriculum plan is designed for students who plan to continue their studies toward a bachelor’s degree in agriculture from one of the area universities. Since degree requirements of various transfer institutions differ, students should consult an advisor and the catalog of the college to which they plan to transfer so they can determine specific course requirements and transfer policies. Their NDSCS agriculture advisor will assist them with the transfer process.

Students will take a mixture of agriculture and general education courses while at NDSCS that will assist them in meeting the requirements of their anticipated degree. Smaller class size enables a successful beginning towards completion of a bachelor’s degree.
