Curriculum for Transfer Students from Stockbridge
This is a typical curriculum for students with an Associate Degree from the Stockbridge School of Agriculture. This assumes that the student has taken the equivalent of Land Form (LandCont 107), Soils (StockSch 105), and Plant Identification (SustComm 335). Stockbridge transfer students should check their General Education Requirements carefully. Depending upon the courses taken, additional General Education (GE) courses beyond what is shown as Elective (GE) may be necessary to meet the University’s General Education requirement.
