Contact agriculture@bhc.edu for information.

Students who plan to complete a bachelor’s program with a major in agriculture are encouraged to enroll in the Agriculture Transfer Program at Black Hawk College East Campus.

All East Campus courses have been articulated with the four Illinois universities which offer degrees in agriculture including: Illinois State University (Normal), Southern Illinois University (Carbondale), Western Illinois University (Macomb), and University of Illinois (Champaign/Urbana). 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 adviser to plan a two-year program designed for successful transfer of credits.
