The University of Wisconsin-Platteville and Northeast Iowa Community College recently signed three new articulation agreements that will streamline transfer opportunities for students pursuing agriculture.
“UW-Platteville and NICC have an established history of transfer agreements providing clear academic pathways for students continuing their education,” said Dr. Charles Steiner, interim dean of the UW-Platteville College of Business, Industry, Life Science and Agriculture. “These new pathways provide additional opportunities for students in critical areas of need within agribusiness, soil and crop science and dairy science.”
The agreements establish pathways of transfer for NICC’s Associate of Applied Science degrees in Agriculture Business, Conservation Agronomist and Dairy Science Technology to UW-Platteville’s Bachelor of Science degree programs in Agribusiness, Soil and Crop Science and Dairy Science, respectively.
“Northeast Iowa Community College is pleased to partner with the University of Wisconsin-Platteville to provide pathways that will expand the knowledge and the opportunities for graduates in the Agriculture Business, Conservation Agronomist and Dairy Science Technician Associate of Applied Science programs,” said Dr. Kathleen Nacos-Burds, vice president of learning and student success at NICC. “Graduates from these programs are leaders in the engagement of high impact agriculture practices to ensure the sustainability of food and water sources for future generations."
The new agreements go into effect immediately.
