Agriculture Science and Management
https://www.linnbenton.edu/future-students/explore-lb/programs/agricultural-science.php
The Agricultural Business Management and Agricultural Sciences programs are designed for students who want to complete their lower-division coursework prior to transferring to a four-year institution. They allow for the completion of general education requirements, as well as preparatory coursework for continued study in agricultural sciences, agricultural business management, crop science, rangeland resources, or environmental economics and policy.
These programs are designed to be completed in two years for transfer to Oregon State University (OSU) or another four-year school with a program in agricultural sciences/education or agricultural business. Students who complete the degree requirements will be prepared to enroll in upper-division coursework. It is important to identify the program requirements at each individual institution and focus on those courses while at LBCC. Students should consult with two advisors; one at LBCC and a second at the school they intend to transfer to. This will ensure that courses being taken will satisfy the lower-division program requirements at that university.
Program Requirements
Entering students will progress at a faster rate if they have a firm background in life and physical sciences as well as mathematics. Program completion requires math, chemistry, biology and other Course Education courses. Note: College Chemistry is different than General Chemistry. Oregon State University (OSU) accepts College Chemistry, however, if transferring to a school other than OSU please consult with an advisor for appropriate chemistry requirement.
The electives within the Associate of Science with an emphasis in Agricultural Business Management and Agricultural Sciences are intended to assist students in completing specific programs at Oregon State University within the College of Agriculture. Students should select electives only after consulting with an advisor. For electives, students can choose from a varied cross-section of lower-division transfer courses in the field of agriculture, providing practical instructional experiences in the areas of animal science, economics and crop production.
