The Agriculture program is offered in cooperation with Wenatchee Valley College and Washington State University. Students will have the opportunity to interact with faculty and other students at multiple locations. Agriculture classes will be offered jointly on the BBCC and WVC campuses as well as branch locations.
Associate in Applied Science Professional/Technical Program Transfer Option
Students earning this degree will have accomplished a transferable degree to WSU College of Agriculture. Students enter WSU with junior standing in specific agriculture degree programs.
This program is designed to give students a strong foundation in the agricultural fields and completes WSU's general education requirements. Students completing this degree will be prepared to begin upper division work in agriculture at WSU.
The agriculture transfer option is designed for students who plan to pursue further education in an agricultural field of their choice as the curriculum includes lab science and upper division mathematics courses.
Prior to beginning this program students should consult the current class schedules as some of the required courses are only offered once per year. Agriculture classes do not have specific prerequisites, but the course descriptions do note preferred prerequisites. Please note this information as it will help students be successful in their academic endeavors. Planning course work will allow students to complete the following required classes in six quarters.
