The 2+2 is a four-year plan that leads to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Agriculture at WIU. 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.
