Students will fill out applications for both schools, and consult the advisors and the catalogs for both schools for specifics. This completion guide is designed to ensure graduation in four years by taking courses at both BHC and WIU. This guide assumes students have met all course prerequisites required by BHC and admissions requirements for WIU. Upon completion of the first two years requirements at BHC, students will receive an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree. Students will be required to complete the Agricultural core requirements at WIU, and upon completion of the final two years curriculum requirements students will receive the B.S. degree with a major in Agricultural Business at WIU. In general, a minimum of 65 semester hours (s.h.) will be taken at BHC at BHC rates and 60 s.h. from WIU at WIU rates. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 should be achieved by the junior year. These grade point averages must be maintained for graduation as an Agricultural Business major. 1st Year, First Semester Notes 1,9 1,9 2 3 BHC Courses AG 100 AG ELECTIVE BIOL 190 or 211 ENG 101 SH 1 4 4 3 PHIL 100 or 103 3 Semester Hours WIU Equivalents AGRI ELECTIVE AGRI ELECTIVE ZOOL 200 or BOT 200 ENG 180 PHIL 140 or 120 15 1st Year, Second Semester Notes 1,9 3 2 4 Semester Hours SH 4 3 4 4 3 18 Semester Hours SH 3 3-4 3 3 4 16-17 BHC Courses AG 281 ENG 102 GEOL 101 or CHEM 101 or 110 MATH 112 SPEC 101 WIU Equivalents AGRI 220 ENG 280 GEOL 110 or CHEM 201 or 101 MATH 128 COMM 241 2nd Year, First Semester Notes BHC Courses 1,5,9 AG 288 MATH 108 or 228 or 132 4 ECON 221 IAI FINE ARTS 6 AG ELECTIVE 1,9 WIU Equivalents AGRI ELECTIVE STAT 171 or MATH 137 ECON 231 FINE ARTS AGRI ELECTIVE Both community college and university requirements are subject to change.
