Note(s):

*Students should refer to the desired transfer institution to verify the requirements of the major and concentration.  For example, some institutions may require social and behavioral sciences coursework from 2 distinct areas so it is the responsibility of the students to verify which course(s) will be required.

**Students transferring to UT Knoxville will be required to complete 1 semester of MATH 1830 Applied Calculus .

***Students planning to transfer to UT Martin should review History general education requirements, which are included under Humanities and Fine Arts.

****For the Agriculture Elective under the Area of Emphasis Requirements, students should take Soil Science whenever possible.  NOTE: Community College courses to fill the "Area of Emphasis General Electives" requirements may vary, but may include: Intro to Animal Science, Crop Science, Soil Science, Entomology, Intro to Ag Science, ANSC 3440, PLSO 3340, AGBS 2130, etc.  Student transferring to UT Knoxville will not be required to complete soil science, and may benefit from an additional course in Animal Science when such courses are available.

Check www.tntransferpathway.org to see which four-year institutions offer this TTP major.  Students should meet with their assigned advisor to determine courses required for the university chosen.

Students and advisors should run a degree audit from myChargerNet each semester to confirm classes are applicable to the program of study.
