The College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences has teamed up with Sampson Community College to help future agricultural education teachers further their progress toward a bachelor’s degree.

An agreement signed Sept. 17 allows SCC agribusiness and animal science students to transfer more than 50 credit hours toward a bachelor of science in agricultural education from N.C. A&T through the online Agricultural Education 2+2 Program. 

This initiative streamlines the path to a bachelor of science in agricultural education — the university’s oldest academic degree — while reducing costs and accelerating completion. The 2+2 program is the longest-running online undergraduate degree at the university.

The program partners with multiple North Carolina community colleges and the two-year Agricultural Institute at North Carolina State University.
