AGRICULTURE
Bachelor’s degree programs in agriculture include various specialties, such as agribusiness, agricul-
tural sciences (animal sciences, crop science, soil science, and horticulture), agricultural mechanization,
and agricultural education. This recommendation applies to programs in all of these fields. For course
recommendations in other specialties—Agricultural Communications; Agricultural Engineering; Food
Science, Nutrition, and Hospitality Management; Forestry; International Policy and Trade; and Natural
Resources, Conservation, and Environmental Studies—consult an advisor at individual schools. To
transfer into a bachelor’s degree program in agriculture as a junior, students need to complete a
minimum of 60 semester credits. Community and junior college students are strongly encouraged to
complete an Associate in Science degree prior to transfer. Since admission is competitive, completion of
the recommended courses alone does not guarantee admission. Students should select courses in
consultation with an agriculture advisor. Every agriculture school does not offer all specialties.
Many community colleges also offer specialized Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree programs in
agriculture, some of which will also transfer to specific universities through 2+2 or capstone agreements.

ART
Illinois colleges and universities offer two different bachelor's degrees in art: the professional Bachelor
of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) degree and the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree with a major in art. In general,
because the B.F.A. degree prepares students for graduate school, it requires 70 or more semester credits
in Art, while the B.A. degree art major requires about 40 to 50 semester credits in art. To transfer as a
junior into either a B.F.A. program or B.A. program with a major in art, students should select one of the
options below in consultation with an art department advisor. Since transfer admission is competitive,
completion of one of these options does not guarantee admission. Most institutions require a portfolio
review for admission to a B.F.A. program, for registration in advanced studio art courses, and/or for
scholarship consideration. Community and junior college students are strongly encouraged to complete
an associate degree before transferring.

ART EDUCATION
To teach in Illinois public schools, teachers must be certified by the State of Illinois. To transfer as a
junior into an approved baccalaureate program in art education, students must complete a minimum of
60 semester credits, including the general education courses specified to meet certification requirements
and the art courses specified below. Admission is competitive, with most institutions requiring a minimum
grade point average of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale). Students must also pass examinations in basic skills (reading,
writing, grammar, and math). Community and junior college students are strongly encouraged to
complete an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree prior to transfer. Courses should be selected
in consultation with an art education advisor.

BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
Baccalaureate biological science programs are diverse. Some programs emphasize cell and molecular
biology, whereas others emphasize organismal, ecological, and evolutionary biology. Large institutions
generally have optional tracks or programs that combine all elements of biological science. Students
should decide the direction or specialization within biology as early as possible, preferably by the
beginning of the sophomore year. Community and junior college students are strongly encouraged to
complete an Associate in Science degree prior to transfer. The advice of both community college and
university biology faculty members is encouraged prior to selection of biology elective courses. To
transfer as a junior into a baccalaureate biological sciences program, students must complete a minimum
of 60 semester credits, including all of the prerequisite science courses listed below. For maximum
transferability, students are encouraged to complete all general education, supporting science, and
biology core courses listed.

Biological Science or Other Electives 3-10 semester credits
Students selecting further coursework in biology should consult an advisor. Field courses in
biology/botany and comparative vertebrate anatomy are biology electives that offer reasonable probability
of transfer depending upon the student's biology specialization and the baccalaureate institution. Courses
such as microbiology and human anatomy and physiology sometimes will transfer for credit in allied
health majors, but most often do not transfer as biology major credit.
Note: Calculus or statistics fulfill the General Education Core Curriculum mathematics requirement. Chemistry I
fulfills the physical science part and Biology I fulfills the life science part of the General Education Core
Curriculum science requirement, and are also required for a biological science major.
