Note(s):

*UTK requires ECON 201, "Intro to Economics" and AREC 201, "Global Food Fiber Systems."  Other institutions may require social and behavioral sciences coursework from two (2) distinct areas so it is the responsibility of the student to verify which course(s) will be required.

**Botany I and II may be accepted in lieu of Biology I and II when these courses are available, however, the Natural Science requirement must be filled by a course sequence.  MTSU and UT Knoxville only accepts the BIOL 1110/1120 sequence for the Natural Sciences requirement: however, Botany courses may transfer for elective requirements.

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

NOTE: Students should refer to the desired transfer institution to verify the requirements of the major and concentration.

Check the website www.tntransferpathway.org to review Agriculture, Plant and Soil Science notes for required courses based on transfer university. Students should meet with their assigned advisor to determine courses required for the university chosen.

Students and advisors should run a degree audit using Degree Works in ChargerNet each semester to confirm classes are applicable to the program of study.
