Accelerate in Agriculture

The Accelerated BS/BSA + MS in HSOA allows qualified students to complete requirements for a Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture and Master of Science in Agriculture in five years (or 139 credit hours).

Upon completion of 90 hours of coursework and a 3.0 GPA toward the BS in Agriculture, qualified undergraduate students may apply for admission to the Accelerate program in Agriculture.

Students who qualify may enroll in a maximum of 12 hours of graduate courses.  The accelerate courses must be confirmed by my RACER degree audit  and replace those required undergraduate course work.

Upon completing 120 hours, including the appropriate accelerated course requirements, the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree will be awarded.
